The long announced update to Stalker 2, called Stalker 2.0 has just dropped and... it is huge. No, I don’t mean it’s so good, it is literally huge.
If you have downloaded the initial 150 GB of Stalker 2, you already are familiar with the vast space the game requires. If you went through the list of updates, each 10-15 GB in size, you already know why Stalker 2 was the first download simulator in the world.
Now, almost 2 years from the premiere, the big update and DLC was published, which supposedly fixes all the problems that the game had (although we heard it before with every single of the previous patches), it updates the game engine and adds some new elements. The size of the update? Just slightly above 130 GB.
Oh yeah, and of course there are reports that the update is crashing the game. And the DLC is not really available... Oh, well, sh*t happens, I guess, even in AAA-priced games.

The flexible conscience of a streamer
Recent events in the world brought the best in some people, the worst in others, but left one group completely indifferent to a lot of things and that group are streamers, youtubers, influencers and other -ers that I probably never heard of.
If it is free, you are not the customer
Wargaming, company behind World of Tanks, World of Warships and World of Warplanes, is known for its predatory marketing approach towards customers, so article like this is nothing new or nothing surprising, but there might be people unfamiliar with the topic, so... Yeah, there are things that need to be said.
