The only reason AW2 happened at all is because Epic paid for its development. Hate on the Epic store all you want (it deserves a lot of it), but it’s one of the few instances where it actually makes perfect sense that it’s an exclusive.

Except it's a strong demonstration that even epic paying for your game won't make your money back on a well made game if you lock it to a disgusting excuse for a storefront.

It would have been better for the studio not to make the game. It's identical for the majority of gamers as them not making the game. They still haven't broken even because they made a bad, anti-consumer decision. They failed because they deserved to fail.
