Imagine being so far down your list of disinformation campaign ideas that this is the best one you had to keep from getting fired and sent to the front lines.
- I freaking love this game, it’s so much fun. They being said, I’m a huge fan of the franchise, so I am biased.
- Fuck it, sign me up, I’m a pro stalker Ukraine, you want me in your army!! /s
I feel like this would do the opposite.
You mean my mad gaming skillz will get me specially picked to ‘save’ Ukraine?
I mean Last Starfighter much?
I’m sure they wouldn’t need to play a game to go fight if they wanted to.
That’s when you know the russian gamedev is incapable of creating anything close to it, so they resort to this
Escape from Tarkov, Metro series, … Not to say Putin shouldn’t be choked on his balls but let’s not take it out on the gamers
Metro games were developed by a Ukrainian studio. And Tarkov, last time I checked, is still in beta.
Stalker Art Online
Trust me, with the state of the game as it is right now, it wouldn’t recruit much even if it was real.
I knew STALKER was a cult classic. I also knew it was the definition of eurojank, so I was already holding off on the sequel until it gets several patches and/or a few community fixes.
Still, I have several people on my friends list who have been playing the absolute shit out of this game. The devs clearly remembered how to capture the magic of the Zone.
The price being almost €110 here in Europe (at least on GoG) does way more to stop sales of it than Russian disinfo ever will.
PS: I was curious so I checked and there are literally only 6 games in GoG including Stalker 2 with a price of €109 or above. No wonder I was so shocked by the price. :/
