Damn shame the decision Remedy made to get the funding from Epic looks like it has backfired (since as I understand it AW2 still hasn't turned a profit). I truly hope this doesn't affect their upcoming games as Alan Wake 2 is one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had and I want for nothing more than Remedy to keep doing what they're doing.

It's unfortunate, but if you're developing a game and are in dire need of cash, Epic is your best bet.

Way before the whole store debacle, Epic also had a lot of grants and stuff, but those didn't require you to give up publishing rights IIRC. Honestly, the EGS greed aside, they've been excellent for the gaming industry.
