I like to imagine that one day, when I tune in to a Ubisoft quarterly financial call, CEO Yves Guillemot will come on and say in his French accent, “Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from Hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake…
Friends, let me summon my full videogame-expert authority to tell you: Studios don’t like it when you pirate their games. They’re not fans! And fair enough, really.

It’s built an empire from selling phones and laptops to people that have moustaches tattooed on their fingers and unironically wore suspenders in 2010. A mighty accomplishment. Alright, I will lay off the sarcasm…

They call it the one-two punch. Yesterday, GSC popped its head up to say, hey, next week it’s gonna put out those original Stalker remasters it promised last year. Today, it’s popped its head up to say if that doesn’t satisfy you then it’s also got over 700 fixes for Stalker 2. Crucially, it has…
