Eurojank also exists. But, yeah; Stalker is Slavjank, not Eurojank.

Nobody calls it “eurojank”. They call it “slavjank”. Slavic counties. Like for example, Ukraine, which, hey, is exactly where Stalker developer Volodymyr Yezhov comes from.
The game is literally about the Chernobyl exclusion zone in Ukraine. Don’t bitch about “geofencing” a genre of games when Stalker geofences its own fictional universe.
It’s like an anime creator bitching about people associating it with Japan when the stories are all strangely focused on Japan for some reason.

I’ve literally never seen anyone call it “slavjank”

I suppose it’s one moderately popular youtuber that used the term. So now it’s supposed to be part of everyone’s vocabulary.

Slavjank!

Maybe it’s a US/EU difference, where EU people wanted to be more specific. I was responding to the incorrect claim that nobody uses the the term “eurojank”.

I suspect that most Americans don’t know where Europe is, what countries make it up, and couldn’t point to Ukraine on a map.
