24. Re: Ships Ahoy - PC Alan Wake Feb 17, 2012, 01:39 Jerykk
 
You are responding to a point I was never trying to make. It is widely known to every gamer who had originally been following Alan Wake the PC game that Remedy had been acquired by MS and forced to develop AW as an Xbox exclusive. It's not a secret, so saying it is not some breach of trust or slap in the face. Better to not say anything then to pretend your customers are all dumbasses who can see through your lame pandeeing now that the game underperformed on the Xbox and there are expenses to recoup.

Except if you remain silent, people will complain even more and demand answers and when they don't get answers, they'll start accusing you of not caring. In most cases, completely ignoring your fans and community will generate an even more hostile response than lying. It's really a lose-lose situation no matter which route you take.

That said, I am curious as to how this game is even being released on PC. MS published AW for X360 and they presumably covered all of the game's funding. However, they have nothing to do with the PC port. Does Remedy own the IP? That's the only explanation I can think of.
