What this means for us PC gamers is that we won&#8217;t have to be subjected to the often-maligned Games for Windows Live.<\/p>\n<p>This means the game will be published on everyone&#8217;s favourite Steam, and the masses (or minority, rather) did cheer. At least there&#8217;s an upside to waiting nearly two years for a PC release.<\/p>\n<p>This news comes directly from Remedy themselves on the official Alan Wake forums, so rest assured you&#8217;ll be able to escape the clumsy clutches of GFWL this time.<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a title=\"PCGamer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/2011\/12\/17\/alan-wake-to-be-self-published-by-remedy-will-use-steamworks-not-gfwl\/\" target=\"_blank\">PCGamer<\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Self-publishing on Steam instead<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":165,"featured_media":29600,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[1544,1658,1657,1656,91,1564],"class_list":["post-29688","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-pc","tag-alan-wake","tag-alan-wake-pc","tag-games-for-windows-live","tag-gfwl","tag-microsoft","tag-remedy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29688","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/165"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29688"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29688\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29688"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29688"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
