Remedy CEO says Alan Wake and Control should have sold more

Remedy Entertainment's new CEO Jean-Charles Gaudechon said Alan Wake and Control should have sold more despite their critical acclaim. He plans to expand the studio's franchises through cross-media adaptations without changing its creative focus.

The executive emphasized maximizing the potential of existing games like Alan Wake and Control before developing new titles.
