It turns out that Gabe Newell, one of the founders and CEO of Valve, is a fan of the Ukrainian game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.

At least that’s what the creator of Steam He replied to one of the gamers who wrote him a letter asking what he was playing (the first to notice the post was OLDboi).

«I’ve been playing a lot of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 lately. Tomorrow I have to reach the fourth final, and then I’ll think about what I should play next», — corresponds to an account that hopefully really belongs to Newell.

It should be noted that Valve’s CEO is known for responding to fan messages, so there is little doubt that the letter is real.
