A few weeks ago we wrote about the PC version of Alan Wake, which it seems has been indefinitely postponed by publisher Microsoft, despite developer Remedy Studios' wishes and the advantages this version was to hold.

Some fans who really know their stuff have gotten together and created a petition for the game, allowing PC gamers to show the publisher just how many people want it. The petition comes complete with tons of history surrounding the game and its development history on the platform, and is well-written. Of particular note is this statement made by Remedy in July:

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

The fans note while gaming on the platform isn't as popular in the United States as it once was, it is very much so "across the pond" in Europe. More, they detail Microsoft's history with matters like these, reminding Halo was once planned to launch on PC first, but ended up coming out a year later as a bad port from the Xbox version.

With the call for voting comes a few demands, too:

We [...] ask:
1. ... for a reason why Microsoft abruptly cancelled the work on a PC version of Alan Wake.
2. ...you to release a statement to express your point of view on the situation.
3. ...you to strongly consider a PC version of Alan Wake and releasing it simultaneously or with just a very little time gap in between.

Upon initially seeing the petition, we saw 6,262 signatures. As of the time of writing, 7,145 is the magic number.

"Alan Wake deserves to have a different fate! It lies in your hands! Don't disappoint your customers around the world!" they say. Gamers can sign the petition via the link below.
