In the world of gaming, it's not just Gabe Newell who's known for responding to emails, but not all responses are filled with good news. A Reddit user shared their experience after reaching out to Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney with a simple question: when would Alan Wake 2 by Remedy be released on Steam? Unfortunately for the gamer, Sweeney's reply was brief and definitive, stating that the game would not be released on Steam, with no further explanation provided. Left with no other choice, the user shared their plan B: to purchase the game on Xbox.

Alan Wake 2 is unique among Epic Games Store exclusives because Epic Games not only published the horror title but also co-financed its development alongside Remedy. According to Remedy, the sales of Alan Wake 2 met their business expectations, and the studio expressed satisfaction with the collaboration. However, looking forward, Remedy plans to self-publish future games, which means they will be available on platforms such as Steam. It's worth noting that more than a year after its release, Alan Wake 2 has yet to turn a profit.
