A fake video claims the game is gathering IP and device data to find Ukrainian conscripts. No, that doesn't make any sense to me either.
I was curious why this game specifically
It's no surprise that Stalker has drawn the eye of Russia's propaganda offensive. The series is one of Ukraine's most famous videogame exports, and Stalker 2 in particular has become something of a symbol of the country's endurance. Some GSC devs stopped working on the game to fight against Russia after the country invaded, and at least one—-Volodymyr Yezhov—-has been killed in action. The simple fact that the game shipped, in spite of the invasion and a forced relocation to Czechia, has made it an icon of resilience.
Wasn't paying that much attention but fucking hell, sign me up!
