Epic Publishing has yet to recoup development and marketing expenses for Alan Wake Remastered as of March 31st 2022

At 40$ it won't. On PC Remastered brought very little compared to original release.
Remasters for games that didnt do well originally don't exactly blow up charts.
It's why financing a sequel felt silly as much as I want to play it.

while i'm sure that it being on epic played a part on why it's not selling well, the pricing alongside what the remaster offers probably wasn't enough to convince people that were able to get the original at 2-5 dollars in multiple sales, and i say that as someone who bought the remaster(good regional pricing where i live)
Legit feels like Remedy shouldve done this solo and make it an upgrade for owners. could see a lot biting the bullet that way.

It is. One of the reasons Epic moved to publishing deals is to get console sales so they actually can start recouping their costs. Very little PC games they paid exclusivity for sold enough to recoup costs.
Presumably, this means LTD revenue is south of $7m ("Tier 3"), in which case, using napkin maths and allowing for some degree of variance to account for regional pricing, LTD sales are likely no higher than 175k at the absolute best.
It will probably drop on Plus and Gamepass sooner rather than later since this is the quickest and easiest way of getting a good $$$.
Yup same. I might have bought it Day one. Oh well, I hope Epic is loving swimming in their non existent money from this.
It'll do well on consoles plus remedy has plenty of good will from Control to generate word of mouth for the enthusiasts.
On PC though... lmao
Man, that's a bummer. I liked Remedy from my experience with Max Payne 1 and 2, and I know it originally released to something more like a cult classic than a beloved blockbuster, but every bit of news that suggests that Remedy is still really only a cult classic kind of developer kinda makes my gut go queasy.
Some of the finest "small loop" action game design in the business (married pretty consistently to excellent graphics design tech too), and I love their moody-silly atmosphere that seems consistent even through massive thematic changes.
Feels like I'm relentlessly rooting for an underdog that's never actually going to mount a big win. I know I'm not actually the only one — we show up to talk about our love of Remedy games each time one comes out, and I know from experience that there's almost always folks to gush about their games with, but the sales data almost always comes back far bleaker than I expect.

I don't think the world was really crying out for a remastering of Alan Wake in the first place which is why the likes of THQ Nordic do their remastering on the cheap.
It can't justify any price tag for people who have already played the original on PC.
For myself I didn't buy the remaster but definitely getting AW2
And prove that it's possible to make more money selling a game despite the larger cut Valve takes? Never!
Honestly, I forgot this was even out.
Yeah, people can already have the original game on Steam (probably for less than $5) and play it at 4k60.
Nope. Curious why you think that? Legit don't mind a reality check if you're serving.
It was one of the most unnecessary remasters in recent times, for $40 you didn't really get a definitive edition compared to the one available on Steam.
It's a remaster that should have been $30 max with a $10 upgrade path for existing owners, and available on Steam. I love Alan Wake and will surely play it again before Alan Wake 2 releases, but I will not consider the remaster until it releases on Steam at a reasonable price, otherwise I will just stick with the perfectly fine version I already got.

Yeah the PC version was already a remaster basically. It's a good port that I don't feel any need to upgrade.
I'm a huge fan of Alan Wake and didn't buy it because I already own the PC version.
I don't really think they expected this to sell gangbusters, it's mostly something important to have available so people on consoles can play it when Alan Wake 2 is closer to release.
"I fear Remedy, despite its multiple announced projects, might close if their long-awaited AAA sequel to Alan Wake sells as poorly as the barebones remaster of a 10-year-old game that almost everyone owns and was barely marketed!" Read what you're saying, please.

Look, I'm not a fan of the expression "concern trolling" but...what is this if not concern trolling?
