A Message from Stalker 2 devs:

 

[kingfey]

Fuck war. Because of war, I had to leave my home country.
Any Ukraine here, hope you feel safe.

also fuck Putin.

A Message from Stalker 2 devs:

What's the message?

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Imagine working, let alone developing a game on this scale, while the country around you is being bombarded and invaded by ground forces. Hope Ukraine comes out stronger than ever on the other side of this conflict. The west has to do some homework it seems.

 

[Sean Mirrsen]

I seem to recall there being a rule against politics?

Just because it's a game developer speaking, doesn't make it less political.

 

[Shrap]

What's the message?

Asking for help and support to defend their country? I'm not sure what you are missing

There’s repubs vs demos, then there is a dev asking for help while bombs fall on their heads. Vastly different scales here.

Nothing appearing for me either and I have no ad-blockers on for neogaf.

Pray for Ukraine

Ahh, I see. My apologies to Kupfer if you are experiencing the same issue.

 

[Insane Metal]

Goddamn it fuck Putin.

 

[Kupfer]

That part is missing for me.

But I looked it up myself.

And? This is still politics. It still leads to political discussion. It's not about supporting the developer, because that's not what they're asking for.

It's allowed.

Anyone who supports this war deserves to get banned anyway

 

[Punished Miku]

Pretty ominous message, but I admire their bravery.

Dude chill. Mods allowed the topic about Ukraine in offtopic so this should be fine as well, if not you can just report it and get a proper answer. I see nothing wrong with this one. We are talking about the state of the game anyway.

Dude shut up, this is a bit more serious than a gotcha moment.

Hate to break it to you, but if you don’t like it, then:

 

[Cert.in.Death]

За Украину. Сейчас и всегда.

 

[Orta]

Fuck off.

I think it would actually be a MASSIVE oversight, to say the least, to NOT allow a topic like this here. NeoGAF is very much a western dominated platform, and for us to collectively shut up while our most sacred values are spit on - in the name of neutrality or whatever - would be absolutely disgusting.

 

[EviLore]

Stay safe Ukraine bros.

 

[GymWolf]

This is fucking disgraceful.

Stay safe ukrainians.

People's lives are in danger... tf is wrong with you?

 

[Plantoid]

This isn't some trump vs Biden or Taiwan vs china thing, this is real and people are dying, i wish gafers showed a little more empathy

 

[Subterranean]

I was worried they would be radio silent throughout this, glad to hear from them and hopefully this isn't the last that we do.

Fuck off there is big war out there. Also you are not mod

Can we ban this guy....atleast from the thread?

 

[AMC124c41]

Banning that guy would be wrong. He should be allowed to have an opinion even he is not correct . Unfortunately gaming and gaming studios don't exists outside of our reality so yeah, extreme situations like war will bleed into games and Sean Mirrsen should probably understand that.

 

[01011001]

I wish someone close to Putin would finally just have enough and shoot him straight in his ugly ass head and get rid of his stupid ass.

whoever would do that would most likely go down in history as a hero... so, hey, maybe someone feels motivated to go down in history even if it might have bad consequences for them

just, some of his security... pull out your Glock and put a cap in that ugly face

 

[IntentionalPun]

Shits wild, feels for Ukraine.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Not a big Stalker fan but if this comes out I'll be buying a copy.

 

[Hardensoul]

Guys can we stop quoting Sean Mirrsen. It’s derailing the thread. Let’s be more civil than Russia!

As a refuge and my dad was executed after Vietnam war. I detest war and makes my heart ache for people of Ukraine. My houghts and prayers goes out to people of Ukraine

 

[Calling 911 Melts Beams]

that aint very #MUGA of them

Jesus christ. You have your priorities in place. Mah vidya games first

 

[Neo_game]

I have zero interest in politics and not exactly sure what or why this is happening but I think this deserved attention from any way possible.

Surely this cannot be good for anyone. Hopefully common sense will prevail and everything get normal soon ?

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

I have no words to describe my feelings.

 

[Sleepwalker]

As someone born in a country that's been in an internal war for over 50 years, fuck war. Hope this resolves quickly.

I seem to recall you are not a moderator and this should be handled by the board administrators, not you.

He probably plays pocket pool with Putin.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Fuck Putin and fuck Biden; easily among the worst "leaders" in modern political history.

Spoiler

That's all the politics from me

Stay safe over there STALKER II team (and well all the citizens in general TBH).

I seem to recall there being a rule against politics?

Just because it's a game developer speaking, doesn't make it less political.

Idpol culture war BS (both far left & far right) being banned? Perfectly understandable IMHO.

This is nothing like either of those though; there's an actual war conflict breaking out with potentially many innocent (i.e regular citizen) lives being lost in a pointless conflict because of idiotic world leaders who can't settle their differences like adults.

And that's going to affect certain game developers, they should have a means of putting awareness out there.

 

[Shai-Tan]

I made the mistake of looking at the comments on Nichegamer, where it's fascists cheering on Russia (because Putin puts the gays in their place)

 

[Pallas]

Any brothers and sister gaffers living in the Ukraine, stay safe please.

I also hope the dev team gets to safety, no game is worth risking your life.

 

[sinnergy]

Can I donate directly to the devs of stalker 2?

 

[Boss Mog]

Devs might be forced to join the Ukrainian armed forces.

I hate clowns.

You fascist suppletive, go lick Putin’s balls and gtfo

I think your money would be better off in the account given by GSC. Remember, the developers had/have steady and secure jobs so far. There are now at this moment more than 100,000 refugees in need of aid.
