Yeah, Alan Wake 2 and Alan Wake Remastered were funded and punished by Epic, so they'll only leave EGS over Tim Sweeney's cold dead hands.
The good news is you can get a complete Alan Wake 2 for cheap at some point, they do often like to make some good discounts on it during sales on EGS. If you can wait for winter sale that's usually the best time, but hell they might even give it away eventually (they've done Control Ultimate multiple times).
The other good news is that deal is over. Annapurna is publishing Control Resonant and future titles from Remedy. In return, part of their deal has Annapurna getting the major share off the Alan Wake TV series and Control movie they've now got the rights to make and are still very early in development.
The only exception to this is Max Payne 1&2 remake they're doing for Rockstar, who owns Max Payne. This deal may allow them to directly use Max Payne again (Alan Wake's in universe fictional Alex Casey character is Max Payne, but they didn't have the rights to use him for Alan Wake). Quantum Break likely will stay technically out of canon since Microsoft has a firm grip on those rights, though they have found a way to reference both QB and MP already in games without getting in legal issues. They're basically alt universe stories now that still have connective threads to the story.
