      It’s not happening, this is more than just a publishing deal - Epic financed the game’s development and they’re not going to budge.

      Just pirate it at this point if you’re so adamant about refusing to install the Epic launcher. The game is too good to rob yourself of the chance to play it over trying to make a point to Tim Sweeney.

        eh, maybe I will pirate it and then buy it at a discount on console or something. I just do my best to not give money to wrong companies.

          To be honest I cared more about rewarding Remedy for their creation than holding a grudge against Epic. But then again I’m a bit of an odd duck around these parts. I don’t even refuse to use an app if it isn’t FOSS. Hell, I don’t even run Linux these days.

          At the end of the day though I just found Alan Wake 2 to be one of my favourite gaming experiences so it makes me sad whenever I see people refuse to play it.

        Well, Tim Sweeny can suck his own wiener then. I have hundred(s) of games on Epic and I haven’t spent a dime there. And still won’t spend, because I have principles.
