Pirates Are Telling Each Other to Buy Control Resonant to Support Remedy
Piracy forum users say they are buying the game anyway, as Remedy needs 3 to 4 million sales to recoup its $52.9 million investment.
- On Sept 24, Remedy launched Control Resonant on Xbox and PlayStation, but the PiratedGames community's reaction proved unusual as users urged purchasing the game to support the Finnish developer rather than downloading it free.
- Fan uncertainty drives this sentiment, as players discuss the studio's financial health amid concerns about previous releases. While Remedy is not on the "brink," reports suggest Alan Wake and Firebreak faced commercial challenges that fueled these worries.
- Remedy is utilizing a Self-publishing model for Control Resonant, unlike Alan Wake 2, which was funded by Epic Games. The studio receives sales revenue directly and needs to sell between three and four million copies to see a return on its estimated $52.9 million investment.
- Several users said they were purchasing the title specifically to support Remedy, with one commenter stating, "I feel like this is one of the games which you shouldn't pirate if you can."
- IGN reports this growing sentiment across PiratedGames circles to support the developer, with players emphasizing that Control Resonant must succeed to ensure Remedy's continued work in an industry where the studio's financial health remains uncertain.
