STALKER Not Stealing Textures

Thanks to reader Rob S. for pointing out that the water textures used by both Valve and GSC GameWorld, the makers of STALKER, come from a texture pack sold by Marlin Studios. The chaps at Marlin make all kinds of exciting textures, including ‘Home & Office Furniture – High Detail, Low Price!’ and ‘Traffic – Low Poly Pretextured Vehicles, SUVs and trucks you can even animate!’

This is the first thing I thought when I first seen these rumor reports. It makes sense though. You’d have to be really naive to think that you could steal textures out of a popular game and not get caught. It all makes sense now.
