STALKER

As a devoted gamer, let me explain how things have evolved in our virtual world recently. Instead of individual player identities being transmitted, the latest system now broadcasts account IDs to other users. TheseIDs, effortlessly extracted by common software, have unfortunately provided an opening for troublemakers and stalkers. With these IDs, they can compile a comprehensive list of their targets’ alternate characters, facilitating easier harassment. Although tools like PlayerScope have been collecting and displaying this information, they merely represent the exposed tip of an iceberg that’s been gradually growing since the expansion was launched.

It’s interesting to note that recently, Gabe Newell (Valve’s founder) has been engrossed in playing Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, a game developed by GSC Game World. Despite its initial launch with several problems that the team is still working to resolve, Newell has spent numerous hours delving into the game world, known as the Zone.

Fans have proposed several theories regarding the second season of “Wednesday,” including the enigmatic character of Lady Gaga and the potential role of Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan). One intriguing fan theory, which stands out among the rest, is speculating about who might be spying on our main character.

Developed by modder Inf_solv, Stalker Infinity represents numerous hours of fine-tuning and improvement by fans aimed at resolving issues, enhancing gameplay progression, and refining aspects such as weapon economy, among others.

The Ukrainian developer has already shared with game enthusiasts what they can anticipate in the upcoming update (via Discord / VideoGamer). One significant change is that certain weapon enhancements will now be attainable before reaching the final stages of the game, as these upgrades have been discovered hidden within the Prypiat Stashes. Essentially, players will be able to acquire these upgrades throughout most of the game, not just after passing the “critical point” and entering the endgame.

In his downtime, when not bravely confronting sharks in South Africa or cruising on one of his luxurious yachts, Gabe remains surprisingly down-to-earth. Quite remarkably, he occasionally checks his email and takes the time to respond to messages sent there.
