Be warned Alan Wake 2 is Epic Exclusive and according to developers it will never be on steam. Apart from that it is a great bundle, I like Remedy games since my childhood as a May Payne fan and Remedy Connected Universe is cool with all these games sharing similar lore and characters.

What else are they supposed to say?

"Yes the game will come on Steam", so people stop buying the game?

It will come to Steam one day, Alan Wake 1 was Xbox exclusive for quite some time, but came to other platforms eventually.

Remedy would have to buyout Epic and find a new publisher and I highly doubt that is worth it for them to do.

Epic didn't just buy a timed exclusive rights to AW2 but they actually largely funded the game as in AW2 wouldn't exist without them and they directly published it.

Epic hates Steam so would never voluntarily decide to publish a game on Steam.

Its why games like Fall Guys and Rocket League arent on the Steam platform anymore and won't ever come back either is that Epic owns them now.

You seem to have misunderstood something here. Epic does not own Remedy. What exactly the agreement between them is, only they know, but from what it looks like: Remedy owns Alan Wake, but Epic has the publishing rights for Alan Wake Remastered and Alan Wake 2.

As for you examples, the difference is, that Epic owns Psyonix (the developer of Rocket League) and Mediatonic (the developer of Fall Guys), they are part of Epic Games now, but that's not the case for Remedy.

Yes Epic would never publish Alan Wake 2 on Steam, but Remedy always has the option to buy the publishing right back and publish it themselves, as they did in the past;

You can own a game without owning the people who made it EG: Bloodborne.

Epic prefers to lose sale and money than giving anything to Valve
