Fans storm online petition for Alan Wake PC
A lot of people were surprised when Microsoft announced a couple of weeks back that they have decided to “indefinitely” shelf the PC version for Alan Wake. If you thought avid fans are just going to take this sitting down, you’re wrong. They have now gone online, armed with their pitchforks signatures to petition Microsoft to reconsider their decision.
A lot of people were surprised when Microsoft announced a couple of weeks back that they have decided to “indefinitely” shelf the PC version for Alan Wake. If you thought avid fans are just going to take this sitting down, you’re wrong. They have now gone online, armed with their pitchforks signatures to petition Microsoft to reconsider their decision.
Led by the fansite Alan-Wake.de, the online petition was basically challenging why MS decided to drop the PC version and prioritize the Xbox 360 version when in fact the Xbox 360 version was the one that was based on the PC version, which fully utilized DirectX 10.
They therefore ask the following of MS:
- … for a reason why Microsoft abruptly cancelled the work on a PC version of Alan Wake.
- …you to release a statement to express your point of view on the situation.
- …you to strongly consider a PC version of Alan Wake and releasing it simultaneously or with just a very little time gap in between.
They even brought up the past with Halo 1, saying that they don’t want a repeat of that history. They recounted that it “was originally announced as a PC title, went to being an Xbox exclusive and finally came out more than a year later,” by which time nobody really cared about the bad port anymore.
You can add in your signature to the campaign by clicking on the source link below. As of this writing, there are a total of 2,890 signatures. Good luck, Alan Wake PC fans!
