Russian Propaganda Claims Stalker 2 Is Drafting Players Into The Ukrainian Military

"The video is being spread on Telegram with false claims that it originated from a report by Wired. Emails have also been sent to journalists claiming that Ukrainian developer GSC Game World is helping the government of Ukraine find 'citizens suitable for mobilization' through an embedded program that collects player data and locations."

"PC Gamer points out that the video also encourages Stalker 2 fans to play the game with a VPN to avoid this supposed data collection. This suggests that the primary target of the propaganda isn't players in the West or in Ukraine, but rather fans in Russia."
