Alan Wake PC profitable for Remedy, makes money back in 48 hours; Steam big contributor

Posted By | On 20th, Feb. 2012

Remedy is very pleased with the performance of the PC version of Alan Wake. It turns out that they made back the money they invested on the PC version of Alan Wake in just 48 hours.

“I wanted to chime in here. We are very happy with the sales and hitting #1 on Steam at launch was nothing short of amazing,” Aki ‘AJ’ Järvilehto, Remedy’s executive vice president wrote on the developer’s forum.

“We recouped our development and marketing expenses during the first 48 hours. And yes, we’re certainly very excited about PC.”

Mikko Rautalahti, who is the game’s writer was plased as well and said: “We’re pretty happy with how things have been going this far.”

Hopefully, they will bring Alan Wake’s American Nightmare to PC soon. Congratulations PC gamers! You really deserve more love from Remedy.

Earlier we reported how Remedy wanted the “PC pirates to enjoy the story”, and it looks like now, they don’t need to bother with piracy after all. This is turning out to be an extremely profitable decision for them.
