Between alan wake 2 barely breaking even and fbc firebreak flopping hard, I can see why they would change the CEO. hopefully this doesn’t compromise the actual games in the future to try and get more money
Alan Wake 2 sold like shit because no physical release on launch for console and it’s still only available on Epic Games Store for PC. I refused to buy it until the physical release came out. Good game by the way.
AW2 was incredible, but I knew it wouldn’t do well when I played it, because it’s too niche. I love the Weird Fiction universe they’re building, but it’s just not pulling the Resident Evil audience.
Firebreak I think was their attempt to monetize the IP, but oof, it’s just not fun. I feel like they could have gone more “friend slop” in tone and been much more successful. Imagine a game loop like Repo or Lethal Company, but set in the Oldest House, interacting with weird, goofy phenomena. Instead it’s a very dry shooting experience wrapped in a very dry upgrade system. I want to support them, but it feels like work to play this game…

Firebreak would have been just perfect for the Helldivers treatment
Well if he’s the one who decided for epic exclusivity, yeah, otherwise no
I’m still hoping Alan Wake 2 will end up on Steam some day.
or GOG
