Alan Wake petiton for PC version

A petition to Microsoft demanding an explanation for the "cancellation" of the PC version of Alan Wake was seemingly endorsed by the official Remedy community outlet today with a link on its official Twitter feed.

 

The peition, written by the fans at alan-wake.de, asks for Alan Wake publisher Microsoft to release a statement on why it "abruptly cancelled" work on the PC version, and requests the company to "strongly" reconsider its position.

 

 

Alan Wake was announced as a PC and Xbox 360 title in 2005, with the PC version's DirectX 10 support highly publicized at the time. Alan Wake PC has since been dropped from the launch plans by Microsoft, and Remedy says its fate is "up in the air."

 

The developer recently commented on the PC version's status last month, saying that it is now too late for it to be released alongside the Xbox 360 version, and reiterating that the ultimate fate of the PC title is in Microsoft's hands.

 

"Remedy has a deep heritage in PC gaming and would love to see a PC version available to its PC followers," said the company. "Ultimately however this decision lies with our publisher."

 

Microsoft has not commented on the matter to any official news sources.
