In a recent interview with Eurogamer, Sam Lake—creative director of Remedy Entertainment—revealed that prolific horror writer Stephen King granted Alan Wake's opening quote for just $1. Remedy is, of course, on the promotional circuit for the upcoming sequel to Alan Wake.
"I really, really desperately wanted a quote from him to start it off," Lake told Eurogamer's Chris Tapsell. "It's my understanding he wanted $1 for us to get the rights to use it. [It was] so very generous."
