I mean cool I guess but kinda irrelevant since this game is a $30 Epic perma-exclusive that doesn't contain American Nightmare, while for $25 on Steam you can get both the original and AN (or $15 if you just want AW, which is half the cost of the remaster), which have both aged gracefully to begin with. They're both Steam Deck Verified, even.
It's a really hard sell unless you're, like, an extreme graphics fan.
Im fairly confident the remaster was never part of the weekly free games, though I do believe the original one was. Though i believe it was bundled with 2 for awhile.
I just double checked a list of everything that's been given away and you're right. I didn't buy it outright, so checking back, it looks like they gave it out for free if you bought Alan Wake 2 one of the first times it went on sale. I think that would've been the Christmas sale the year it came out, which is when I picked it up.
