Theoretically yes.
But without Epic, maybe there wouldn't be any Alan Wake 2 to sell.
Remedy didn't have enough money to finance the development costs themselves. So they needed a publisher for it and obviously the best offer was from Epic.
Could have gone worse, f.e. Sony as publisher. Timed exclusive the first years on PS5 and after that a gimped PC version without path tracing.
Or Ubisoft as publisher demanding more open world and collectibles in the game.
