please buy the full game without waiting for a discount. thank you from a humble game developer from Kyiv, Ukraine.
I keep waiting for the ultimate edition to become available for purchase. Wouldn't miss out on Stalker for anything. Russia can go fuck itself. I am sorry trump won here in the us and we may not be helping as a country anymore. I contributed in a few ways over the years but I wish I could do more than I have. Slava Ukraine πΊπ¦
After KSP2 I promised myself I would never do Early Access or preorder again. However, I made an exception for this. Love the stalker series and Iβve both preordered it and took the entire week off of work. You can say Iβm definitely hyped lol
Already pre-ordered the Ultimate edition. Goes against my usual principles but I don't care in this instance. I hope the game is a massive, GotY contending success.
Thank you <3
Are you working on the STALKER 2 team?
No, I work at Wargaming Ukraine. But at least a dozen of my friends and ex-colleagues are working at GSC and the whole Ukrainian game development community respects what GSC does!
It's inspirational what they've done. I really hope the launch goes well.
I did the same, and also normally never preorder digital goods. Preordered the ultimate edition in December 2022, and really did not care whether they could deliver at all.
Now, as a fan of the old games, I am pretty stoked that it looks like I really will be getting an awesome game.
Where'd you preorder? I kept waiting for it to be available.

The physical copy comes with some goodies, or else you can pre-order through GoG, Steam, Epic Games, MS Store, or Xbox.
Well, That's where I've been checking. So at least I'm not messing that up.I just keep getting a pic of a suprised dude holding a bitten piece of fried chicken leg. I just popped into the discord and they're only mentioning the digital versions so far so maybe physical isn't opened yet?
Nvm, missed the window. Looks like there are still places to get it though.
Will do. I'm basically one decent trailer away from impulse buying it anyway. As a fellow game developer, allow me to say: I truly wish things will get better for you guys.

I'm considering it. I'd probably want to know if it works well with Linux first.
I will do a day one purchase despite being too busy with factorio expansion to actually start it just yet.
Thank you <3
I generally don't pre-order, probably won't this time too as release has creeped so close anyway. But definitely buying it full price, just waiting for some day-1 reviews to check if it needs patches or not. I love the STALKER series, played them all and I definitely feel I own GSC some more money for the FPSs I've most enjoyed in the last 20 years or so.
