    They were already building lasting value.

    Not… Really. Alan Wake 2 under-performed and reportedly broke even 2 years after release. FBC Firebreak was a huge failure. It’s not surprising to me that they’re gonna pursue money harder. I hope Control 2 is good, at least.

      I imagine locking Alan Wake 2 to the EGS on pc probably did not help their sales there. FBC I feel like had no excuse though

        Epic must’ve given them a really good publishing deal to make it an exclusive though. If it were also on Steam it definitely would’ve moved more copies but I doubt they would end up with more money than what Epic paid.
