Due to music licensing issues, Alan Wake will no longer be on sale on Xbox or Steam. Tomorrow however it will be 90% off, and American Nightmare will still be for sale as they got the licensing renewed for that.

Amazing game, amazing music and I really enjoyed it. Figured I'd post here in case someone doesn't have it and want to get a good price on it before you can't get it anymore.

Similar thing happened with Dirt 3, ran out of licensing for their cars and went on a really good deal and disappeared from steam. At least Alan Wake gave a good notice on that (I don't think Dirt 3 even said anything before hand).

    Yeah, its an awesome game. I'm playing through it again since I had it on the console, and it is so amazing. Such a good quality game, just too bad they ran into the licensing issue. I wonder how many other games will run into that problem?

    Also American Nightmare is 99 cents on humble bundle, it isn't for sale on Steam for some reason

    Seems to be just a cheaper solution for them as the game is already past its sales peaks, otherwise they would be willing to just update the game to deal with licensing issues.

    American Nightmare does not have licensing issues, contrary to the main game, that is why it is not on sale. It will also stay available.

    The original game blew my mind, especially playing all the DLC immediately after that, the game messes with you big time and the ending was great.

    highly recommended for the story alone.

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

    Eh I didn't enjoy it as much as you people, especially american nightmare which was very repetitive and bland.

    It starts good but gets progressively worse.

    Both are on 90% sale there, and you get the DRM-free version as well.
    Or, if you don't care about the steamy keys, can get them on gog too: https://www.gog.com/news/special_sale_goodbye_alan_wake

    Personally I never liked this "dumbed down" kinda mutation of adventure games (action combat - go forward in the tube - cutscene - action combat - QTE - etc. etc.) but maybe Alan Wake is the best of those, because at least here the forced path is backed up by the writing, and also the writing is really good. It keeps up even for the 2 mini episodes. Just to take a massive nosedive with the murican nightmare :lol:  and to rub salt in it, they felt the writing is lame, so they tried to compensate it with even more lame combat...

    Still, Alan Wake is definitely worth a playthrough, and for that price it is a gift. The AM Nightmare... well, for a buck you can slap that onto it as well, if you are curious about the lame "twist" at the end :lol:
