GSC Game World* hunts down S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 leaks. Strikes hit blurred frames and private livestreams

Some assumed that the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl leak was controlled. The words and actions of GSC Game World* cast doubt on this

Recently, a build of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl was leaked online. Enthusiasts were able to decrypt and even launch it.

Quite predictably, a multitude of corresponding videos and gameplay livestreams of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl appeared online. Some even suggested that the leak was controlled.

GSC Game World* commented on the leak. The company went on the hunt and began issuing strikes against bloggers. Judging by the experience of blogger Antishnaps, one can be hit by GSC even for a blurred frame of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 menu.

Some disguise S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 streams as other games. However, even this does not save them from the vigilant GSC Game World*. The developers can drop in with a strike even on an unlisted broadcast (accessible only via link). The content is blocked at the request of GSC GAME WORLD* GLOBAL LTD.

Various Discord channels are becoming a refuge for streamers, where they share their screens with those interested.
