The only sources so far seem to be that ukrainian news site and the tweets, but it seems pretty legit. Mucho sucko if true. Sad

Worst gaming news of the year by far. Okay Failed Troll

If the government body really tried to take over and that's the reason for closure, then fuck them in the ass. Hope the team is still together, creates another company and moves off-country.

they do?

but in all honesty whether or not we think so highly of the IP (personally, it's no great loss, the games however...), at the same time you gotta admit, you enjoyed the fucking games.

Well, that is a problem with east European and German developers, they always make huge announcement and never have the budget and competency to complete what was promised, and what is delivered, is often lackluster and full of bugs. There are notable exceptions, but by large, this is the sequence of events.
Aiming high is very important, but knowing your limits and completely overshooting beyond them is megalomaniacal.

don't be sad guys.
just look at all these games that came out the last years or will come out in the next few years.
everything looks like it's done for consoles.

so i bet stalker 2 would have been the same.
so just remember ur stalker 1 and don't be sad.

good gaming times are over. enjoy this new shit or stop playing
