Alan Wake 2 not selling as much as the developers expected shouldn't distract fans of a shameless repackaging.
Max Payne Remake™ Official Teaser | Rockstar Games & Remedy
Alan Wake 2 was a huge success for Remedy Entertainment if you look at it from a fan and consumer perspective. Despite the critical reception and positive reviews from fans and critics alike, the game is struggling to earn a fortune which is crucial in this industry. No amount of positive word-of-mouth reviews will accumulate to real currency, but there's another thing fans should consider about how a classic is treated.
Modern games wouldn't exist if it weren't for previous titles that showed the world's potential in games. Gamers reflect on the loveless port of the original Max Payne on PlayStation 4, a question worth addressing.
Game developers Remedy Entertainment made some moves that could drastically affect the future of Control and Alan Wake after the company acquired the full rights to the respective franchises. This means that the developers are free to pursue and pursue whatever project they see fit for the franchise, and this could be a way for the studio to combat the weak sales of Alan Wake 2 since the game never had a physical release.
