Lots of great games like Enslaved and Alan Wake didn't get their dues and others just didn't measure up. We look at why their devs shouldn't throw in the towel.
Remedy has released its financial statement for the first quarter of 2024, and despite strong sales, Alan Wake 2 has yet to recoup its development costs.
Lol. I imagine there's still alot of people that buy physicals. Or atleast see what kind of new games are out by what they see in real stores. This is on them. Idda paid 70 day one physical. Now I won't pay more then 15 for it
Remedy has made a couple of changes to its core management team with the goal to grow Alan Wake and Control into larger franchises.
Changes like not being anti consumer? putting out Alan Wake Remastered on disc but not the sequel?
Alan Wake, from Max Payne and Control creator Remedy, is a horror classic, prompting one player to buy 4,000 copies that don’t even work.
Kind of a goody story...
On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.
Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.
Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.
Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.
Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄
So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.
I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.
Good read, anything is possible.
Games are not cheap to make. Sometimes they have no choice.
Seriously. Rockstar once made an unholy Austin Powers game for the GBC. Now they've got Red Dead Redemption, GTA, Bully and soon LA Noire. Even Rome lost a couple wars in its early days.
Who the hell planted the idea that Alan Wake was not succesful.... vgchartz? remedy announced lots of time ago they surpassed the 1M mark and it's still selling strong, I understand we all were too busy buying Red Dead Redemption at the time of its release but surely many bought AA later, especially in the very very dry christmas season
Alan Wake 2 was announced for the 360 as exclusive are these guys slow.
