Petition to CD Projekt RED Studio, to add a post-apocalyptic game to their development plans

For the attention of: CD Projekt RED Studio


This petition is presented with the intention of the fans of post-apocalyptic science-fiction, science fiction in general and fans of good quality digital entertainment, as presented by CD Projekt RED, to reach out to your esteemed studio with the purpose to kindly ask you to add a post-apocalyptic game set in central-eastern Europe to your development plans.

The theme of nuclear post-apocalyptic worlds in video games (console or PC) has been around for many years, harkening back to titles such as Wasteland, Fallout 1 & 2 or newer titles, such as Metro 2033 or Mad Max.

The local Polish, as well neighbouring countries', game development studios (with no lesser esteem being given to fan productions) tried with mixed results to create their visions of the post-apocalypse based in the central and eastern part of Europe, with the venerated exception, but sadly now defunct, of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game series.
(The above mentioned titles are based in other parts of the world, or quite linear.)

CDP RED Studio has shown how great high quality games are made, at the same time treating the gamers with respect, and giving them unrestricted rights to mange their digital products. The gamers, as well as the industry in general, greatly appreciate the contribution of the Studio to improvement of the digital games medium.

We believe, that a game of that nature would be an absolute hit, considering the rich European culture, "our" eastern-European vision of the Cold War paranoia behind the Iron Curtain, all the absurdities of life under the Soviet regime, the splendid music of the gone-by era (Polish songs of Mr Mieczyslaw Fogg, or newer acts from e.g. from '70s and '80s of XX century come to mind.), and the idiosyncrasies of life in Poland before the socio-political restructure, as well as the idiosyncrasies in the wider Soviet-controlled region, before the implementation of Perestroika!
(Not to mention the nuclear polygons such as Ozarsk, or strategically placed nuclear rockets in all the countries of the Warsaw Pact.)

Hereby we would like to ask the CDP RED Studio to positively consider our request to create such a game, which could be the Polish vision of the atomic post-apocalypse with world-wide appeal and production quality, or alternatively perhaps enter into a co-operation with, or purchase of IP rights, to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series from GSC Games World, and reviving the series.

(P.S. This petition is written in full lucidity, and knowledge, that this is only our heart-felt kind request to your awesome studio, to consider adding a post-apo game to your plans, should the response to this petition reach your expectations!)
