After many years of development and multiple delays, Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is here, and right from launch, it was apparent that it was a huge hit. However, while developer GSC Game World has been rolling out updates to smooth out bugs, there's no denying that the first-person shooter launched with quite a lot of them, but Baldur's Gate 3's publishing director is of the opinion that it had to take the plunge eventually.
Speaking to Eurogamer in a recent interview, GSC Game World studio CEO Ievgen Grygorovych intimated that hitting Stalker 2 with yet another delay to iron out any remaining issues before launch just wasn't an option, noting that the team couldn't just "say yes, let's make one more marathon, because you're already broken." He continued: "You're so tired that you would just die if you say let's run an additional marathon. We didn't have a chance to say let's do it more. We just had a chance of 'let's do until this moment - the release date – as much as we can.'"
