It's fairly common for games published by Microsoft Game Studios to come to the PC after enjoying a year or two of comfy exclusivity on the Xbox 360, with Halo, Fable, and Gears of War all eventually making their way over to Windows, and it appears that Remedy's Alan Wake will be no different. Rumors began surfacing with Remedy's Aki Järvilehto hinting that the developer would have "some positive news" in the for PC gamers, and now, we all but have confirmation thanks to Valve's Steam platform.
Some folks over on the Alan Wake forums found some interesting information underneath the hood. Namely, they found information confirming that Alan Wake was coming to Steam, as is evident by a bunch of listings buried deep in the system's files.
