They didn’t make much money off alan wake 2 after locking it on epic and not printing a physical copy for the console people for a year (and even then was only a limited deluxe and collector’s edition release). This seemed like a hail mary to try and get that sweet gaas money, but I imagine the overlap between people who play games like control and people who are willing to dump endless money on the live service game of the week skins is pretty small.
It was literally the only way Alan Wake 2 was getting made, no other publisher would finance the project after Alan Wake 1 sold poorly and Sam Lake/Remedy really wanted to make it.

You’d think by now these companies would know the epic deal is radioactive.
