Here is a translation of the statement:
Statement by Sergei Grigorovich
I realized that the current conceptualization of Stalker would not be of interest to most gamers, and decided to scrap all work on the project.
There will be no official announcement. Instead, there will be a display of all the work the team managed to finish without me.
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R brand will be transferred into the hands of Bethesda.
I'm leaving game development – I've had enough...

gay as all hell
this has been their plan all along
The Elder Scrolls 6 will end with your character destroying the final Tower and causing the apocalypse, the reality of the world tearing apart as seen in the STALKER games, while the Fallout games show the aftermath
Bethesda will finally combine all three franchises into one game and destroy the world
the mayans were right
Cleve was right
you can buy the game as Fallout 4/TES 6/STALKER 2 as you wish
it is exactly the same game with a different ground texture
everyone in the world buys all three twice
financial meltdown ensues
ITZ COMES

Apparently the offical Facebook confirmed it as fake, but they also confirmed the cancellation as fake...
That last word can be translated as both "I've had enough" and "I've gotten bored", which is ambiguous without further context.

probably making the levels in Gamebryo as we speak
radiant AI factions
it will be marketed as a more action heavy version of Fallout 3 with plenty of wacky mutants to blast and weird anomalies powered by gamebryo physics while listening to crackly russian radio station with ZANY DJ, KAMERADES, STAY SAFE OUT DARE IN ZONE GAHAHAHAHAHAHA
maybe even a hot independent female stalker with mission of revenge and loyal attack dog to accompany you on your journey
and finally stalker fanbros will be told that their game was shit before bethesda updated it with cover based mechanic and glamor kill cams
camo fallout power armor preorder bonus

WHY DO UKRAINIANS HATE US SO!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe the Bethesda bit. That has to be a joke. They must know how Fallout fans feel about Bethesda.
Why would Bethesda bother with the rights anyways? Unless they planned on buying them to remove the competition. All a Stalker game would be to them is a Fallout with less name recognition.
On the other hand, the cancellation is very believable and mostly expected.

well at least you didn't post a frog in an icecube Secretninja....
Oh for fuck's sake. I saw this shit on their official facebook yesterday, while I wish them well with their project I'm almost certain they'll be dissolved in a year tops like most Eastern European MMO developers.
What I don't understand is why Grigorovich who apparently made a boatload of cash on the franchise and was most likely going to do so again, chose to abandon this project. Is he having a mid life crisis or something?
If Bethesda were to acquire the rights to the IP it would just be terrible. TERRIBLE! I don't see any mention of this on GSC's forums which usually know their shit, so I'm hoping this is just bullshit. Seriously they would probably move the Zone to Maryland and bring in Duty and OMON - BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GIVE OLD FANS OF THE SERIES WHAT THEY WANT!
