Alan Wake II

[wndrbr]

Journos and Geoff will try to make you believe this negress simulator is a massive success

apparently it sold less than 1M copies. Doubt there were a lot of sales on EGS.

After the review period, in February 2024, Remedy announced that Alan Wake 2 had sold 1 million units by the end of December 2023, and 1.3 million units as of the beginning of February 2024.

...

Alan Wake 2 has already recouped a significant part of the investments made by Epic Games Publishing, and we expect the game to be a meaningful revenue and profitability driver for the year.

the game still didn't break even.

Funny how they were trying to astroturf everywhere proclaiming it a giant success with fans.

[Segata]

Can't wait to see the ugly negress look uglier!

Did anyone else already make the "****** wake II" joke

Alan Wake is saved

The game finally made a profit?

What's wrong here? The guy could have had Swedish ancestors.

Edit: lmao @ replying to a 9 month old post. Talk about a pregnant pause.

I'll just read the thread backwards, from last post.

At the time of publishing this report, Alan Wake 2 has recouped most of its development and marketing expenses.

The game has yet to break even.

After ‘Alan Wake 2’ Failed To Turn A Profit, Game’s Senior Community Manager Calls For “Bigots” To Be Removed From Gaming Communities

Too lazy to copy the screenshots over..

Biggest takeaways:

- Now that twitter doesn't shadowban everyone devs are seeing real feedback instead of the ultra-nice-fellow-liberal-friend feedback
- They know their games are losing money to DEI rebellion and intend to combat it by letting investors know ahead of time "our bottom lines are gonna hurt but stick with it"

It's ******* over.

The not being able to lie to investors anymore is the best part.

I’m curious how long Remedy will stay around when it’s games continues to flop with them even doubling down in making sequels to those same failures.

I'm guessing IF they manage to not pozz the Max Payne remakes, they might get some way of staying afloat.

Alan Woke, they race swapped the female lead character.

[Acrux]

More like Alan Too Woke, amirite?

You can tell they really, really wanted Alan Wake 2 to do well and it makes them so mad that it flopped “almost recouped part of its budget”

The industry tried so hard to create the perception that the game was GOTY and phenomenal. Very transparent and desperate.

They did and like everything they do, it was ridiculous and doomed to fail before they even started. Alan Wake was always a middling property and they already tried a sequel before and it didn’t do terribly well, why on earth would this game be a hit now? It was a stupid idea that might have broken even if it had Alan Wake as the main character, and that’s about it. These people are gigantic idiots even before the woke has a chance to factor into it.

So Remedy is now Tencent's *****, does this mean less ugly or more?

[Vergil]

Has Remedy had a single success since Max Payne? The only game I even hear about is Alan Wake 1 as a sort of cult classic that underperformed. How do they still exist as a company?
