  S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Will Require a Permanent Internet Connection? - Official News

It looks like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 may require a permanent connection to the Internet when it releases some time in 2012.

In a recent interview (which you an read/listen to if you know Russian) Sergey Grigorovich said that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will require a permanent connection to the Internet.

Quote:
“Protection from piracy? Part of the content will be located on the server and downloaded as the game progresses. Permanent internet access is required. Text information, code and quests will be loaded through that connection. Software piracy is an issue for us, we try to fight it, but within reason.
If people can not afford a licensed version, it is to our advantage if they download a pirated copy, and then want to buy a license. In Ukraine, there are different products that people love so much that they buy a license in principle. We want to create just such a product.”

This is understandable, especially considering that Eastern Europe has some of the highest piracy rates in the World it isn't something that we at S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Files really want to see become mainstream in PC Gaming. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is a long ways from release and this may change by the time we get our hands on it.

The question is, will you still buy it if you need to be connected to the Internet at all times?

DRM was only mentioned as a possibility, not a choice. We're still looking for a method that is acceptable for both GSC and the community!

Which will, as with three previous games, close the eyes to the truth out of great desire to play, and forget all inconsistencies and poor development, bugs and errors, both logical and in software. There were many such people. Playing GSC games, which could also be, in some sense, described as bad games, with full potential unleashed only by creating enormous mods for them. But will there be such as mods ever for an permanent Internet play?!
