Blogger Yuri Khovansky commented on the news about the leak of materials on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. In a video on his YouTube channel, he noted that the game will still be of poor quality, so you should not waste time watching the leaked data.
On March 11, representatives of the “Bulletin of the same Stalker” group turned to the authors of STALKER 2 and stated that they would put tens of gigabytes of game data online if they did not revise their policy towards gamers from Russia and Belarus. Later, GSC Game World refused to cooperate with the attackers, and also noted that hackers could only access outdated materials, but asked fans not to distribute the leaked files to the network. After that, about 16 GB of materials on the game turned out to be in the public domain.
