Alan Wake dev not including game’s ending in press copies

According to a Remedy managing director Matias Myllyrinne, the studio wants to discuss the possibility of leaving the ending of its upcoming thriller Alan Wake off discs sent to press with its publisher, Microsoft. “I think we’re going to be insanely careful about how much of the story we reveal,” Myllyrinne told. “I’d like to hold it back, I don’t want anybody to spoil it for the audience. That’s just my personal feeling.”

Using the twist ending of The Sixth Sense as an analogy, Myllrinne says he’d prefer players be able to piece together the secrets of Bright Falls on their own before having them spoiled by others. Although admirable, his analogy can only mean one of two things: Alan Wake is dead or he’s Haley Joel Osment. Either way, we’re already terrified.

   Hmm, I read “sold seperately”, probably on a DVD in september 2010 for only 59,95 so only on xBox you’ll have the full experience & blablabla.

   He wants the press to go out and buy the game for the full ending so they get more money. =P

   Couldnt they just make the press sign an agreement or something? This is ridiculous.
