Russians complain that the game Stalker 2 is at the top of sales, with a significant portion bought by Russian gamers.

Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl - the best-selling Ukrainian game in the world

The Ukrainian computer game Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl has become one of the best-selling games in the world. After its official release, the game, developed by the Ukrainian studio GSC Game World, gained recognition from gamers and critics, reaching the top of sales on the Steam platform.

Despite its enormous success, some users from Russia cannot hide their disappointment and have started actively discussing the game in the Steam chat. They complain that the Ukrainian developers promised to donate a significant portion of the sales of Stalker 2 to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Such statements further underscore the importance of the support that Ukraine receives amid the full-scale war.

Throughout its development, Stalker 2 continues to demonstrate a high level of interest among the international audience, highlighting the important role of the Ukrainian video game industry on the world stage.

Russia may ban the game Stalker 2

It is worth noting that the game Stalker 2 may be completely banned in Russia and criminal liability for its purchase may be introduced. This was reported by the Russian media, citing Anton Gorelkin, deputy head of the State Duma committee on information policy.

According to Gorelkin, the reason is that the Ukrainian studio GSC Game World supports the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Additionally, he believes that the game may contain 'illegal' information, such as 'justification of terrorism' or 'incitement of international hostility.'

We remind you that Ukrainian internet providers reported temporary network outages on the evening of November 20. The reason was the massive downloading of the long-awaited game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, which overloaded the infrastructure of some operators.
