 S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky Interview - interview
(hx) 01:43 AM CEST - Jun,17 2008
Eurogamer has posted an interesting interview with GSC GameWorld's PR director Oleg Yavorsky as he talksa about S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky. In interview, Yavorsky makes mention that the sales in North America were lacking for a few reasons. Particularly, he states that many just don't care much about a disaster that took place in Russia. He also mentions how he believes NA players tend to favor more bright and flashy graphics in their games.
Eurogamer: Is the PC market robust enough for you to be single-platform with Clear Sky?

Oleg Yavorsky: It is if you focus on the heavy PC markets. Russia is 98 percent PC still; Germany has a big piece of the market. There is a lot of piracy, but people are still buying games: with our game, they really were. I've seen people on the internet, and someone is saying, "I've just downloaded S.T.A.L.K.E.R.!" Someone else will say, "Hey, these are local guys - support them and buy it." Then the first person will say, "I just wanted to take a look - I will buy it! I will buy it!"

I am so pissed off, when people say Chernobil is in Russia and that GSC is a Russian developer. Goddammit, the country's name is Ukraine! For most of you out there it's kind of a "whatever" thing, but I tell you, it feels really bad, because it IS an insult when people despise your country.

demos never show you whats wrong with the game, thats why i download the full version and if its good i will buy it. and i usually buy 90% of the games i download, if i don't buy it i delete it, crappy games like 2 world and gothic had many bugs yet no demos, if im going to pay over 50$ for a game, i want a demo.

I read the interview and there was no mention of this ?

Nosferatu: Well, technically speaking, when the accident happen there was no Ukraine, just Soviet Union.

@JohnyDog
Well, you got the fact right. But does it make the Chernobil exclusion zone miraculously move from Ukraine to Russia? Or does that make chaps at GSC Russian devs? I guess not =)
