Apparently there will be no more fix/patches to the Windows store version....

You almost feel bad for the people that bought that version now.
This has to be a blow to MS's window store & UWP format.

Being as restrictive as they were, it was hardly going to work out, it never did with GFWL and I honestly don't see every dev bowing and submitting themselevs to just going with the UWP format and only DX 12 and going to the Windows store. That dream was more or less a pipe one of MS's, not ours, most of their dreams don't always work out so well. As long as Steam exists MS won't be able to climb to the top like they've wanted since the the start (but somehow fucked up royally).

This recent info on Remedy stopping the updates on 10 and Windows store version to adhere to the Steam Windows 7-8 version with DX 11 makes me wonder if Remedy are done with MS after this, I mean it sounds like they didn't get the sales they wanted, their game came out a mess and got a bit of bad press.

They need the money... I think I read on Neogaf that they are supposed to be working on a Free to play mmo for the chinese market atm.

I hope they arnt done makeing AAA games. If QB had launched on PS4 & pc steam from the start, their sales would have been alot better.

Remedy Games have been hired to develop the story of a South Korean MMO. They don't need the money for that.

But for Alan Wake 2...



Please excuse my bad English.

MS paid them to make the game and let them make the game bigger than they originally intented. Maybe you should be asking if MS is willing to fund another game since Remedy failed to make a game that sells and it came out a mess.. Of course, Xbox One version wasn't a mess and it was developed for a console, I assume that MS made them rush the Win10 port and Remedy wasn't able to do it right. But we don't really know what's going on here.



I so wanted it to be on Steam in the first place. It was poorly optimized on the gameplay from PC Windows store.

Of course Remedy can just go to someone else in the end if it's all about funding. That hasn't stopped other devs before. Not sure about the begging MS to fund them another game, I feel thanks to the "rush" and the UWP system that it would be on them not Remedy, so far it's their entire system, their store and win 10 along with DX 12 results that are causing issues left and right.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Of course they can look for funding elsewhere and I didn't say anything about Remedy having to beg MS. Didn't Alan Wake also struggle to sell? MS did pour money on QB and it failed to sell. As much as I love Remedy and games they make, I'd think that publishers would be cautious about funding them.

I do hope Remedy nails this Steam release and Quantum Break will get the sales it deserves. But I also find it strange that they aren't going to patch Win10 release anymore, makes me think if they really are incapable of doing it with DX12. I don't know if it's still a mess though.



I already bought the awwfull windows 10 store version but I will pick up the steam version when it is on sale a year from now or so and delete that horrible version from my PC lol.

Makes them look like liars.

First its exclusive to Xbox One.

Then its not, and its also comeing to windows store... but thats it, windows store is the same as xbox. Okay you think.

Then its no long exclusive to xbox or their store, but also comeing to steam.

This isnt a exclusive anymore. If this was planned from the start, they clearly decieved people.

The thing about all this talk with Remedy is that it makes it sound like MS is completely guilt and error free, they aren't really all that free since sources and previous Win 10 releases have pointed out that DX 12 and UWP are becoming troublesome for devs, not because they haven't mastered them, it's the two themselevs that are the problem.
