Also GSC is claiming copyright of a camp fire song that is technically public domain and also by Russian band Любэ, more specifically Любэ - Давай наяривай.

There is an homage easter egg they could ask to have removed, but man this just gets scummier for the STALKER 2 devs/publisher.

NORMALLY i'd just chalk it up to they're a volunteer, GSC should just be made aware so they can let said person go, but given that a DMCA is currently taking place, would this not make them a liability with them spreading misinformation and be seen as an endorsement by GSC to cause harm?

Yes!

I remember renting this from a family video store when it came out, took me by total surprise how fun it was.

It's just so funny to me that GSC only takes issue when they know the other company won't outright eviscerate them in court, like Bethesda, or Deep Silver with Metro.

The crazy part is, STALKER isn't even an original work, it's inspired by a book and a movie.

To further expand on the nature of the dev as well, i've come to learn that the problem person was an edgy teenager that was on the moderator staff of the Discord, the dev themselves are Anti-War, so this is an abuse of the copyright system by GSC against a smaller studio. #indiegames
