Remedy Entertainment, the storied developer behind big action-adventure games like Max Payne, Control, and most recently Alan Wake 2, has come out to publicly defend Epic CEO Tim Sweeney and Epic Games publishing after it recently came under criticism from Michael "Cromwelp" Douse, publishing director of the Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian Studios.
Earlier this week, Sweeney argued that the competition between the Epic Games Store and Steam benefits both developers and players by giving them "more options and better deals," responding to news that the dark western FPS Blood West enjoyed a 200% spike in sales on Steam after it was given away for free on Epic.
