It’s not just Gabe Newell who's renowned for his email responses, but not all news is positive for those reaching out. A Reddit user shared their experience after emailing Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney with a straightforward question about the release date of Alan Wake 2 by Remedy on Steam.

Unfortunately for the gamer, Sweeney's response was brief and definitive. He stated that Alan Wake 2 would not be coming to Steam, leaving no room for further discussion. Disappointed, the user revealed their backup plan: purchasing the game on Xbox instead.

Alan Wake 2 distinguishes itself among Epic Games Store exclusives because Epic Games not only published the horror title but also co-financed its development with Remedy. Remedy reported that the sales of Alan Wake 2 met their business expectations, and they expressed satisfaction with the collaboration. However, looking ahead, Remedy plans to self-publish their future games, which means these titles will be available on platforms like Steam as well. Despite this, more than a year after its release, Alan Wake 2 has yet to turn a profit.
