It becomes even more challenging when the personal circumstances of those creating it are unstable. This, which may sound obvious and not surprising, painfully becomes true when things go wrong. A war is probably when things cannot get much worse. <strong>The war in Ukraine has brutally affected everyone, and particularly GSC Game World<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The developers of <a href=\"https:\/\/stalker-2-heart-of-chornobyl.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl<\/a> have had quite tumultuous years. Due to the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, they had to relocate their headquarters to Prague, as they were previously based in Kiev. Some of their developers have lost their lives during the war. <strong>They had to ask fans not to share a preliminary version of the game, which was stolen and leaked on the internet by Russian hackers<\/strong>. And in addition to all of that, now, they have suffered another devastating material loss. The building where they work has caught fire.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Xbox Game Pass\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/8b773de5-0b20-429f-a535-c159557192df\/2791990695\/xbox-game-pass-Xbox%20Game%20Pass%20for%20PC-logo.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Xbox Game Pass<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/xbox-game-pass.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/xbox-game-pass.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>As reported by the Czech media outlet Vortexto, a fire occurred last Thursday in the Prague offices of the studio<\/strong>.
