The game wasn't even profitable after a year as a result of not being on Steam, according to the article. Pretty interesting

I guess they don't want it to be profitable then. Maybe over the next 10 years it will break even on Epic.

Epic profittability is on Fortnite; there will be lot of skin based on Alan Wake franchise and, also, Fortnite ads everytime you launch AW2 form their launcher etc.

...as for Alan Wake franchise itself, well it goes in the epic games store marketing black hole
