And you just cant say yes, lets make one more marathon, because youre already broken.The CEO explained that he didnt have a chance to delay the game any further. Instead, the decision was made to release the game in as solid a state as possible and continue to work on the game after release.Since release, the Stalker 2 studio has released a new patch almost every two days to fix bugs and improve performance.
