Stalker Has Another Release Date

It seems that all may not be lost for stalker. The developers have said that it has a release date (after much speculation at the gaming sites). The news was broken unnofficially through some game news sites when the examined the financial reports of Stalkers distributor and saw that it was set for release. This has prompted an official response from the developers and another showing of Stalker at E3. For my money and to my distress, I believe Stalker will become abandonware. It may rival Duke Nukem Forever as the greatest game never made.
