The gamers didn’t support the idea of updates and the consequences of frustration resulted in the creation of memes on Twitter and Reddit and criticized in social media.
The frustration level of the gamers was such that they directly cited “They would not buy Stalker 2” in the response the GSC immediately explained but the gamers refused to buy it. The Company also didn’t explain the reason why it wanted to launch NFTs linked to the popular game in the first place.
The Company has also not elaborated which Blockchain it would use because some blockchains use more energy than others and most people were unable to differentiate among them.
The earlier plan to create a “Metahuman” involved giving names and aliases to the buyers of NFTs for their in-game characters. Then these NPCs would be allowed to have the Cameos as enemy, bartender, and comrade.
GSC game world responded late on Thursday afternoon, taking his defense against all the criticism which could not help them to regain its fan's love.
“GSC is an independent game development studio,” and it also began just like all the other devs, and said we need two main resources the Time and Money.
