Sad day for gamers, GSC, the company who made the amazing Ukranian shooter "STALKER, STALKER: Clear Sky, and STALKER: Call of Pripyat", have been shutdown for good, ending STALKER 2. If there was ever a game I was looking forward to (I think it was supposed to come out next year), it was this. This series is one of the most atmospheric shooters out there. While not a perfect game, it was a fantastic idea, and it has a great community of modders. I've put more hours into these games than any other game ever.

Perhaps another company will buy the property to make their own version, cause it's too good of a series to just disappear, even if it won't be quite the same game, the idea is extremely solid.

*EDIT*
Apparently eurogamer deleted the second twitter message that was supposed to be confirming things, so things are up in the air at the moment with no official confirmation. We'll have to wait and see. This is a game series that does not need to die, it's such a unique game series.

This poorly translated article does confirm that at least GSC is done.
