Interesting.

I keep trying to get into STALKER, but I then keep losing interest quickly. Just not my kind of game I guess.

I think stalker had some employee turnover part way through its development. The assets were likely put in as a placeholder and they forgot to take them out. As I understand it, based on the other assets in the game it would have been fairly easy to make the lightmaps or whatever they were. It really wouldn't make sense to intentionally steal them.

There's a lesson here...don't use place holders! You'll likely forget about them!

Hmmm ... I've played through the game, and didn't directly notice anything. How do people have enough time to figure stuff like this out??

You require a source for a guy speculating on what happened?

hmm that's no good... I hope it was just a mishap and no legal action comes of it...

For most people, it's because the beginning is slow and difficult. You need to get past the garbage zone.
