Epic... funded... the game.

Remedy took money up-front, expecting it to be more money than they would make later.

Being on Steam means access to customers, and more sales. You said so. So Epic, to promote the Epic Game Store, estimated how much revenue Alan Wake 2 would lose by not being on Steam, doubled it, and wrote that on a check.
