some giant corp. will probably buy the STALKER IP and make some consoilzied derpy COD casual FPS out of it...

well this is a new era, or has been this way for a while. where gaming company simply can not survive on PC only big budget games (not counting MMO. yes i agree PC is still the preferred platform for MMO). they put money and time into a PC only game that barely makes profit, and watch COD rake in $500 mil in a day with the same old derpy game. its all multi platform games with console focus nowadays.

marketing, buying off game reviewers is as important as making the game decent. as long as u create the hype, simple minded idiots will buy it. much like politics.
