Fans Unhappy Over Alan Wake 2 Merchandise Line
Alan Wake 2, the popular survival horror game launched in 2023, is facing criticism from fans. The bone of contention? Not enough merchandise featuring the character, Saga Anderson.
This gripping game has sold over 1.3 million copies by February 2024. With its intense storytelling and vivid characters Alan and Saga, it’s a massive hit. But there’s a hiccup. The recently launched merchandise line has a few fans fuming and alleging partiality.
Saga Anderson has a special place in the game-playing fans. She’s a FBI agent in Alan Wake 2 who guides players through a maze of mysteries with her keen judgement. But, some fans feel she hasn’t been given rightful representation in the game’s merchandise line.
Prestige Merch Supply is the company that makes and sells merchandise for Alan Wake 2. They’ve got some cool stuff like skateboards, t-shirts, shorts, and hats. But, it’s Alan who dominates the merchandise line, not Saga. Now, that has some fans peeved. According to them, it’s unfair to Saga.
Company’s Response Aggravates Fans
Feeling the heat from the negative feedback, Prestige Merch Supply offered an explanation. They professed their love for the game and said they have plans to create more merchandise, especially for Saga. But, it seems like this did little to calm the fans. The backlash continues.
Sales Skyrocket Despite Controversy
Even with this spate of criticism, no one can deny the success of Alan Wake 2. It racked up record-breaking sales in just a few months after its release. Being Remedy’s fastest-selling game to date is a great feather in its cap. Not just that, the game has also won the applause of players and critics alike. With a fantastic Metascore of 89 out of 100 and User Score of 8.6, the game’s popularity is through the roof.
Impressive Profits for Alan Wake 2
By June 2024, the game has smoothly made back its $75 million development cost and made a nice profit for the studio. Its vibrant fan base is always buzzing about the game on social media. You can see how much fans love it!
Controversy Overshadowing Success?
So, Alan Wake 2 is definitely a big success. But the controversy over Saga Anderson merch is disappointing to fans. The game is a hit and the sales are through the roof, even with this ongoing argument.
Fans and followers will be watching to see if Prestige Merch Supply takes their pleas seriously and puts out more Saga Anderson merchandise. The question is, will they listen and how long will it take?
Signing off, this fan favorite game’s journey has become more intriguing with a merchandise twist. Hopefully, the creators will do what’s right in the eyes of their fans and honor Saga Anderson. Only time will tell! Until then, let’s continue unraveling the mysteries in Alan Wake 2.
