The people in this comment section seem to blindly hate something they have done 0 research on. I do not consider GAMMA a perfect modpack, and didn't really have that much fun playing it (as it is currently more of a beta versoin), but i understand those who do, and i respect Grok and other developers for their hard work. Literally just reading the install instructions disproves what most people claim here. Grok doesn't "steal" other people's work for profit. All authors are properly credited, with proper links to their mods in the mod manager. (except the bruh moment with Dark Signal, which was resolved quickly). Also, unlike 99% of all modpacks for any game, GAMMA has an unique installer which downloads mods *directly* from their respective pages on ModDB. This means that when someone installs GAMMA, *all* mod authors whose mods got included get a download on their page. Some people are blaming Grok for the complete opposite of what he does. And the fact that Grok asks fro donations is completely understandable, he spent and still spends a lot of time working on the modpack (mind the compatability patches, installer and unique content), it is quite logical for him to want at least some sort of minor profit from it, especially if you consider that it is completely voluntary, as not a single feature is locked behind a paywall. Call me a fanboy all you want, i hope i got at least someone to stop believing people who hate things for simply being popular.

@@Thial92 exactly this. People are looking at STALKER content and their first question is 'is this gamma' and 'does this work with gamma'. The frustration that I have, which I mock in this video, derives from the fact that in peoples minds 'gamma' IS stalker. It's so far from what stalker actually is, and so fucking badly balanced, that it's frustrating to try and create content in this space - like my streams or the little guide videos on my channel about anomaly - only to have people say 'iS tHiS wOrK wItH gAmMa' One of the amazing things about Anomaly is how customisable the experience is. No two people's installs are the same once they 'graduate' from vanilla. I always told people who wanted to try anomaly and who asked me which mods to get to play vanilla first, to work out what they do and don't like, then go from there. STALKER Anomaly is amazing not just as representative of STALKER itself but as a model for how we can design games which appeal to more and more people. GAMMA flies in the face of that. One dude who has no clue how to design or balance games puts together a modpack which become the 'default' experience of STALKER for many first time players. It looks flashy because of HD textures someone else made. It has cool guns with nice animations that someone else made. It has combat which is balanced a certain way because of mods someone else made. It is a mess of different systems and ideas from a whole bunch of people who are 'credited' but ultimately overshadowed by the oh so amazing Grokitash. I don't hate it because it's popular, I hate it because it's a pile of unbalanced shit, and I'm sick of people asking me 'does X work in gamma? Does Y work in gamma?' when I make a video about Anomaly. It shows that they've downloaded this pack and have no fucking idea what it actually is - to them 'gamma' is it's own product, it's own game. They don't think or know that they can actually define the experience, that Groks pack is just one opinion on how to enjoy STALKER rather than the only way or best way. They are missing out on what makes Anomaly truly special, and that's really sad.
@@MrScotchcarb mate if they enjoy gamma i dont see what the problem is in asking things about it? Not everyone gives a shit about the person that made a game??? I dont play tf2 because i love gaben or know anything about him, i play tf2 because i enjoy it. Same goes for gamma.

You just said they are playing and enjoying the things these developers have created. A percentage of them go on to support the mods they enjoy the most on ModDB, myself included. Here's a list of my favorites: - Perk-Based Artefacts (and a bunch of QoL features, like pulling out your last weapon after closing the PDA and automatically using the best disassembly tool) by TheMrDemonized - Ammo Maker (and even more QoL) by Atrifax - Hideout Furniture by Aoldri - Sorting Plus (and, who could've guessed, more QoL fixes) by RavenAscendant All of these are easily searchable through the launcher, if you literally just look at a mod name the author's name is immediately behind it. Every single mod in the pack is structured this way and dozens of them were made specifically for the pack by Grok. Mod authors rarely get credit as it is, I think it's a great way to promote the work all of these people have done. Why are you upset about this specific version of the game being popular? The existence of things like Anomaly and Gamma (and how wildly popular they seem to be) only boost the popularity of the entire, already-famous Stalker series, they don't overwrite it. Modded story campaigns still exist! Gamma existing doesn't delete them! You can still play Shadow of Chernobyl or fuckin vanilla Anomaly if you really want to, let people have fun the way they want to.
