An unexpected turn in the gaming industry
In the whirlpool of information flows of the Russian media space, another scandal broke out associated with the long-awaited game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. The agency designed to regulate the information space, Roskomnadzor, made an unexpected statement that literally blew up the information field.
What we know so far

Recall that earlier in the media there were reports of a potential blocking of the game, which whipped up an atmosphere of uncertainty around one of the most anticipated game releases of domestic development.
Context and Background
S. T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is not just a computer game. It’s a whole universe, a cultural phenomenon that has gone far beyond the classic game genre. Developed by Ukrainian studio GSC Game World, the game has always been more than just an entertainment product.
The story of the confrontation around the game resembles the exciting plot of a post-apocalyptic thriller. Since the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine, the game has been at the epicenter of geopolitical and cultural contradictions.
Legal uncertainty

This precedent once again proves that in the modern information space rumors and official statements are not always identical with legal facts.
Expert opinion
Leading gaming industry experts disagree. Some see this situation as another round of information war, others – an attempt to manipulate public opinion.
“Most likely, we are seeing a classic example of information noise,” says an independent media analyst. The real situation is far from what is exaggerated in the media.
