"Get out of here, Stalker. But don’t ever think we’ll forget what you did for us."

Developers of the critically acclaimed S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series announced the immediate closure of the company and cessation of development.



Goodnight, sweet prince. ;_;

Too bad... I am still enjoying Call of Pripyat. Fighting against some Monoliths in Pripyat can get tense to say the least.
Just got out of LabX8, one hell of a trip.

CEO said he's shutting it down for personal reasons. Some people are speculating that the mafia was pressuring them.
