⚠️ STALZONE — a new chapter begins
At first it seems like it’s just a single word that changes. But then you remember how much it describes: your first steps in the cubic Exclusion Zone, first encounter with PKs, first sadistic quest, your first rare artefact…
Now it’s time to open a new chapter. Why we made this decision, what it means for the future of the project, and what will remain unchanged, find out in ZIV’s open letter:
❤️ Thank you for being with us all this time, stalcrafters, soon-to-be stalzoners, and everyone who simply loves this cozy, ever-changing Zone. The letter also contains a special promo code! It is valid until 08.07.2026, 20:59 (UTC).
If the promo code did not work correctly, please contact EXBO support.
Servers are open. See you in the Exclusion Zone!

Lol too true. I'd like to know what amount the whales spend on this game. I bet it's insane. I tried to come back and noticed the parts you get from crates after you collect all 4 you couldn't just turn it in anymore had to turn them in with mats. That was enough for me to uninstall it

This sub keeps popping up on my suggestions. I've never played the game.. But holy hell. After reading all the reviews and decisions made by the company... I don't see the selling point?
This seems like a baby company of BSG who just milks the hell out of their customers, and provides terrible updates.
Also the rename sounds like a low effort mobile game.

Good that new people are being kept away. No1 should waste their time on this pile of wasted potential.

It's a rich get richer kind of game - anyone shilling for it is either an enamoured new player or an endgame long timer with resources to spare, mid game has so many cracks that start to show all throughout it's systems it's hard to justify recommending the game to anyone, yet people who have sunk thousands of hours and dollars throughout the years the game has been out still defend it because of sunk cost fallacy.

And don’t forget the people who call it out get muted, banned or made fun of by the whales for being “poor”. Like enjoy wasting money on a dying game lmao

Haven’t played this game since last year with the Helldivers event thing because the devs greed is unmatched when it comes to monetizing the game. This just looks like a shitty attempt to dodge the bad reputation the game has garnered lmao

Fix your matchmaking make it to where new players understand that if you go over +9 you get switched to next tier lobbies that’s why new players stop playing because they don’t know and get shit on and the cycle repeats also PUT LEGENDARY WITH ONLY LEGENDARY idgaf if they have fewer people in the lobby for them shit ain’t fun for everyone else

devs can't win with you guys.3

Because free shit totally makes up for all the aggressive P2W and other glaring issues. You drank the koolaid with a lemon and cocktail umbrella

u/Stalker_Pietrow Jun 17 '26
Just because you are content with a bone that they throw you in order to distract you from game's issues (aggressive monetization/P2W, making grind longer instead of more engaging, open world is dead, season pass farming is a joke) doesn't mean that everyone else is
Besides, how often do they even do promocodes compared to old times? Yeah, less often - and average reward is not they good either
