I really hope it's just a PR stunt. But I doubt it.

I really love their games, but can understand that most wont pay full price at release for them. I still thought the series was popular enough for them to be profitable.

While I'm sad that Stalker 2 is cancelled, I don't think I'd be interested at all in playing a Console version of Stalker. I also worry that it being tailored for consoles would make it underwhelming on the PC.

Eh, I had full faith in GSC that the PC version will be top priority. Shit, they might put out a shitty console port. :lol:
