A recent tweet by the official STALKER account of GSC Worlds hints that the game isn't dead after all.
The Steam page of recently released post-apocalyptic survival shooter Misery - seemingly unaffiliated with the Stalker mod called Misery - has been pulled offline, with developers Platypus Entertainment alleging it's the result of a DMCA takedown filed by Stalker creators GSC Game World. Platypus say they're in the process of fighting this claim, which an email shared by Platypus themselves suggests is all about copyright and purported use of GSC's "game content" without permission.

Stalker 2 developer GSC Game World wanted the game to destroy the common media trope of showing a "better life" to players.
It has been claimed by the owner of GSC Game World that talks are underway regarding a live-action adaptation of STALKER with Netflix.
Hey; I'm all for these guys getting that cash coming in, but Netflix is really, really hit or miss with their adaptations. Leaning a lot on miss.
I... could...be interesting. I mean, on the surface, you just need a bunch of people in dirty tacti-cool gear shooting each other and mutants and collecting mundane objects with extraordinary powers. Maybe an anthology series that shows different stories in the zone and avoiding following any of the game stories... but Netflix, so they will probably botch it.
Hollywood gonna run game movies and shows into the ground like they did with Comic Book stuff.
i hope they found a major 3rd party publisher to help fund the project
Thanks god (of gaming)!
