Remedy says there'd be "no Alan Wake 2 without Epic" after Baldur's Gate 3 dev blames EGS exclusivity for Remedy's "financial crisis"

Remedy Entertainment has leapt to the defense of Epic Games after comments from its CEO, Tim Sweeney, were criticized by Larian Studios' director of publishing, Michael 'Cromwelp' Douse.
