[QUOTE="Admin, post: 59327, member: 1"] Fans are questioning the priorities of Alan Wake developer Remedy Entertainment after it revealed plans to sell a real-world version of the game's collectible thermos despite not making a physical version of the actual sequel. “Good things, like good coffee, take time,” read a tweet from the official Alan Wake 2 account (below). “Airam and Remedy Entertainment, two Finnish household names, have collaborated to bring you the official Oh Deer Diner thermos. Completely true to the thermos bottle found in the game.” The thermos, which is set to go on sale sometime later this year, is based on one of the 100 Deer Diner thermos collectibles that players can hunt down throughout [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/alan-wake']Alan Wake’s six episode story[/URL]. However, fans of the series were quick to comment that they would rather Remedy Entertainment focussed its efforts on providing fans with a physical version of Alan Wake 2 when it launches later this year. “So you made a physical Oh Deer thermos but you can’t make a physical Edition of Alan Wake 2?," commented one Twitter user. “Nice, now collaborate with THQ and release Alan Wake 2 physically,” said another.
