A Low Budget Alan Wake would have been better than one that doesn’t sell
I don’t follow. As a fan, I get to play the game either way. Why would a lower budget version that more people buy be “better” for me? It might be better for the companies involved, it might even make future installments easier to sell to investors which means I get more games. But at the end of the day, as a player I end up with a worse AW2. Why would I want that?
Depends on what they value, no? Alan Wake 2 still turned a profit in the end. Would Sam Lake and the others at Remedy have preferred releasing an inferior product that didn’t match their vision but made them a bit more money? I personally don’t believe so.

Maybe not better for the fans, but definitely better for the developer
