We are talking about businessman Maxim Krippe, who is a co-owner and investor of GSC Game World. According to him, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl has already sold enough volume to start making a profit.

Crippa did not disclose the exact amount of investment in the game, but in an interview with Forbes noted that “of course, it is tens of millions of dollars.” Thus, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl went into profit less than a month after its release.

Crippa also confirmed that the studio is still planning a release for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl multiplayer (patch) and two paid add-ons. Work is also underway to port the shooter to “other platforms” (PS5?).

In addition, GSC Game World is currently negotiating with Netflix about a film adaptation of the game universe. Krippa himself is also in favor of adapting the franchise. At this stage, however, nothing has been decided yet.
