We all made many sad faces when we found out that Monday Night Combat would be abandoning the XBLA DLC plans in favor of continued and bolstered support for the PC version. As it happens, more sadfaces are on the way as Trendy Entertainment has wound up in a similar bind when comparing their XBLA support versus PC for Dungeon Defenders.

With Alan Wake’s American Nightmare’s February 22 release right around the corner, Gamasutra posted an interview with Remedy Managing Director Matias Myllyrinne yesterday that explored some of the details of the project.
