S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

I won't pay attention to hackers threats, I'll still buy this on day 1.

Ultimatums are a declaration of powerlessness so any hacker "threatening" is not a hacker; just a kid in a bedroom with time on his hands, maybe still butthurt over the birthday he didn't get a pony ride and cotton candy.

Capital-H Hackers of the dangerous kind are invisible and will fuck shit up without any drama-queening, or even needing to make it known why, nor necessarily wanting anything.

How big of a POS do you have to be to go after a studio like this...

How dare developers in a warzone who lost an actual developer to said war delay a game's release? I'm going to throw a temper tantrum and threaten to ruin the developer so the game never gets released!

^ I wouldn't even assume the "hacker(s)" are actually Russian. This is the internet. Could be a dude sitting in India or a grandmother in Singapore, LARP'ing as their idea of a "Russian hacker" for the lulz. I say that because the demands are too obvious, unimaginative, almost cliche.

I wouldn't "assume" it, but if you know anything about the STALKER fanbase, you'd realize it's a pretty safe bet. Just check out STALCRAFT or the reams of original trilogy mods to see who is developing and playing them.

But to be charitable, the toxic entitlement of some "fans" on the internet is an issue that knows no borders.
