THQ Nordic wants Remedy to change its mind about a digital-only release for Alan Wake 2
THQ Nordic has reached out to Remedy and offered to partner up to make Alan Wake 2 available as a physical release.
Reminding the developer that it had facilitated physical versions «back in the day» for the original game, THQ Nordic said it would «love to go at it again».
Remedy anticipated questions about its digital-only release, it seems, as it included the decision in an FAQ shared earlier this week.
«For one, a large number of have shifted to digital only,» the studio explained at the time. «You can buy a Sony PlayStation 5 without a disc drive and Microsoft's Xbox Series S is a digital only console. It is not uncommon to release modern games as digital-only.»
It also argued «not releasing a disc helps keep the price of the game at $60/€60 and the PC version at $50/€50», and insisted it «did not want to ship a disc product and have it require a download for the game».
However, THQ Nordic has implored Remedy to reconsider and offered to help via a tweet which has since racked up thousands of likes and retweets.
«I mean… we did the disc version of Alan Wake for PC back in the day ICYMI» THQ Nordic tweeted in response to a tweet.
«And just because ONE person (or company) does not love physical, there is plenty who still do. Give it some thought. We'd love to go at it again! Full circle and all.»
