Dear GSC,

You know I love you. I love your games. I love the atmosphere, the hard-as-balls damage system, the scavenging, and the snorks. I love anomalies, upgrade systems, and artifacts. I've completed each of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games vanilla at least once... but this shit has to stop.

I just spent thirty minutes trying to get past one of your many game-stopping bugs in CoP to no avail. I had been able to bypass an earlier bug with a teleportation cheat, skipping the Pripyat underground route (one of my favourite sequences) in the process. With each consecutive crash my disappointment grew, and as I passed the 10x mark, I died a little inside. In the past, when others complained about your crippling bugs, I stood by you.

I loved you despite your flaws.

But after thirty minutes, I said "Fuck it" and deleted Call of Pripyat from my Steam folder.

GSC, until you get your act together I won't buy any of your games. I know you try your best to squash the bugs, but it simply isn't enough. As incredible as your games are, I can't do this anymore.

Goodbye.

I just wish I could turn all the BOLDING off. Everything is fucking hard to read.

I believe you were thinking of Facial Hair February and Moustache March.

One day I bought an issue of EGM, and between the game ads I found a page promoting The 1up show. It was the first podcast I ever downloaded, and I was hooked. That was over four years ago.
 
I gradually picked up more and more 1up podcasts, and started visiting the site on a regular basis. 1up Yours, GFW Radio, Retronauts, EGM Live, Legendary Thread, and Broken Pixels became a part of my daily/weekly routine. Most weekdays I would have a new podcast to look forward to. 
 
After a couple of years, people started leaving.
 
1up slowly crept off my radar once GFW Radio died. 
 
The UGO takeover and massive layoffs put me off the site entirely. I made the switch to Giantbomb within the week.
 
Now... now I don't even want to think about it.

Unless there are some steep discounts and you can re-download your games for free, Microsoft won't be getting my business.

I have never purchased a collector's edition for a chunk of plastic, but HOLY SHIT. 
 
Get some blue LEDs and laser pointers and you're in business.
