The translation which I found on GAF basically boils down to 2 reasons.
1) One of the ukranian law enforcement structure was interested in taking control over GSC (translation - they wanted to capture the company and have their money/control their direction). < Wtf
2) Grigorovich didn't like how STALKER 2 development was going,
Bye Stalker...
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
Game » consists of 2 releases. Coming Sep 05, 2024
The formerly-cancelled sequel to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
STALKER 2 is dead and so is GSC.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Bummer! Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl is easily one of my favourite games.
Link is broken:(
EDIT: Apparently they haven't!

God let it be true...
I hope they're still in business, Shadow of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat are easily two of the best PC shooters ever made!
The company director tweeted saying it's true that they closed.:(

Not entirely sure whether I believe this. Especially when all I have seen so far are shitty sensationalist threads like this.

Bethesda should buy the license and stick STALKER into the rotation between Fallout and Elder Scrolls.
jesus christ are you dumb, that would be the worst idea ever
Sure, they could give it to Obsidian. I don't see how that could go badly or upset anyone.
yes please that would be the 2nd best outcome (1st obviously being the team keeps working on it)

Whats wrong with that? Seems fine to me. I like all three of those games series a lot, and obviously STALKER is very different in gameplay from those other games, but its not an awful idea, especially if they got the original team working on it. STALKER with a bigger budget? Sounds good to me.
Oh FUCK I never realized they did CossacksFuck Stalker, Cossacks was their best game.
I fucking love Cossacks so much.

that's saying that they would have Bethesda working on the games though, which would probably be a disaster
also that bourkovski guy is not the CEO, or any connection to GSC at all, so who knows at this point.

There are way worse fates for franchises then getting Bethesda working on your games.

I love Cossacks to no end!
The game is so fantastic... and that even though the tech at that time cannot even be compared to what we got nowadays. Then again, somehow all non Blizzard RTSs just got horrible over the last years :(
Who made Cossacks 2? I suppose not the same guys, right?
Fallout 3 set in Kiev? That'd be pretty cool, especially if they have the Soviet version of Liberty Prime. Communist Robot destroy Imperialist!!
