The entire team that was working on STALKER 2 has now formed a new studio named "Vostok". They're working on a F2P MMO named "Survarium", which they believe is the next evolution of Stalker. They were denied the rights to the name "STALKER", hence they were forced to abandon it and move on. This is one of my most cherished fps games on PC of all times. I can't remember how many times I've replayed all the games. It sure is a sad day indeed. I'm now more than ever looking forward to Metro: Last Light. Lets hope they don't bite the bust like GSC did.

Good decision. The series was a very average affair.

Poor Stalker fans were given a ray of hope after the GSC tweet, but it turns out that was just BS.
The games were not everyone's cup of tea. They had atmosphere, depth and gameplay no other fps offered at their time. For an SP oriented fps, they were in a class of their own.

Though the storytelling was a bit lackluster in comparison, the new fallout games owe a lot to this series. The amazing atmosphere these games managed to create is unmatched to this day.

A well-above average series, something that anyone that has played the games will attest to. Sad day indeed.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    "These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

    Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
