This news is particularly noteworthy given Epic Games' unique involvement with Alan Wake 2. They not only published the game but also co-funded its development. While Remedy expressed satisfaction with the collaboration and sales meeting expectations, they've since confirmed future titles will be self-published, opening the door for Steam releases. Interestingly, the game has yet to become profitable over a year after its launch.
