Alan Wake PC Has An Amazing 48 Hours

Alan Wake PC Has An Amazing 48 Hours

None

Porting a popular console title is typically a risky business. But Alan Wake has covered all of the development costs in less than 48 hours, which is extraordinarily impressive.

“We are very happy with the sales and hitting #1 on Steam at launch was nothing short of amazing,” said Aki Järvilehto, Executive Vice President at Remedy. “We recouped our development and marketing expenses during the first 48 hours. And yes, we’re certainly very excited about PC.”



Remedy’s success is good news for PC gamers who are often left in the lurch when developers release a console title with no plan for PC support. Even if a game is ported over to the PC platform, it typically happens long after the excitement has worn off.

Recently, over 85,000 gamers put their signatures on a petition to bring Dark Souls over to the PC. Perhaps now NAMCO Bandai will actually listen.
