Tim Sweeney's been talking up the value of the Epic Games Store as competition for Steam again, pointing out how good it is for both players and developers. This time, his comments are being challenged by a lead developer at Larian Studios, the team behind Baldur's Gate 3 and the Divinity series, who believes some context is missing.
"I understand Epic entirely funded Alan Wake 2 but this altruistic pro-developer talk doesn't sit well when Remedy seemingly went into financial crisis because they couldn't tap Steam for AW2 sales suffering potentially hundreds of millions in lost revenue," Michael Douse, the publishing director at Larian, says on Twitter.
