PC gaming has been declared dead time and time again over the years, but developer Remedy has just shown that there's still a large market for games on the ol' desktop. The company proclaimed today that its highly-rated $29.99 self-published port of the psychological thriller Alan Wake was the number one selling game on Steam last weekend, and, more importantly, that it recouped its entire development and marketing expenses for the port within 48 hours of its release on the 16th.
Maybe now developers will realize and start designing games for the PC instead of the console and then porting them to PC!!
Obviously there's a market
...of pirates!

That doesn't even make sense. He just said it was the #1 selling game on Steam, that means people bought it

Maybe he's trying to imply something about us PC gamers... :D

We're not all evil though! Lol
I beat it and the DLC's the other day...It was amazing, really great story, little - no bugs (great for a port) graphics were great.
Definitely a good buy.

Fragman got it. It just upsets me that many people pirate games on PC just cause. I'm thinking this game is the exception and not the rule. It's just easier to pirate on PCs, no need to modify hardware in any way just find a cracked version of the game.
