Windows GSC closing its doors?

Lots of mixed news. Some sources say some very different things. In Russian news it was eluded that the owner is in some sort of trouble with Ukrainian government and had their assets seized. Some sources site the reason as general financial trouble, while others say it is not closing.
Regardless of the circumstances, it will be sad to see them go. In spite of them releasing incredibly buggy games, they were very good in environment, challenging and had some originality.
If they sell off s.t.a.l.k.e.r. I hope it is to 4A / 1C or to another dev like CD Projekt that would do it justice. I would rather see it die than end up in the hands of one of the big publishers.

 

I think CD Projekt would do wonders fort he Stalker series - I mean, just think of the Witcher!

 

Seems strange, I thought the STALKER series sold quite well? Surely enough to float the company for another title or two. Sad times.

However, I expect the IP will be bought by another company if not the working project.

 

They'd probably have to add female stalkers

 

"The Stalker team is extremely happy! Why? Because we are continuing work on Stalker 2 after the holidays."

Much as I loved playing the first 3 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, you have to wonder if S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 not seeing the light of day might be for the best, given the tendency publishing houses have to ruin otherwise great games with DRM or a requirement that you use their own (rubbish) version of STEAM...
