Via Kotaku an Inquirer article reports that, despite earlier claims to the contrary, it looks like the folks behind the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. title are not guilty of art theft. It seems both Half-Life 2 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. use textures from a pack produced by Marlin Studios. The similarities are there because both teams used pre-canned materials for their titles, not because of any tom-foolery on the part of GSC GameWorld.

I bought all 38 copies of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. from the local Best Buy thinking it'd be a good investement.

just as unoriginal aesthetically as the other major players.
Nah, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s dark brown halls look much nicer than DOOM 3's dark brown halls.

I mean, I know every time I go through Half-Life 2, I spent hours looking at wall textures wondering how each would look as wallpaper for my room. I could care less about the striders, the bugs, Dog or Alyx.

Yes, because games sharing the textures for some of their lamps are then all junk.
Give me aesthetically innovative lamp textures, goddammit!
