S.T.A.L.K.E.R. devs didn't copy HL2/Dł assets
Posted on Tuesday, 17 April 2007 by Ryuken, source: TheInquirer
According to TheInquirer it turns out that the developers (GSC) didn't copy the assets from these games but legally took them from a texture pack of Marlin Studios, which provides the same services for Valve (HL2). The so-called Doom 3 assets were also not specifically taken from that game apparently:
Valve has confirmed that it picked up some textures from Marlin for HL2, and separate sources have discovered that the IMP_Light texture that it was thought could have been pilfered from Doom 3 was, in fact, just a standard Impact Light texture, rather than referring to the Doom 3 monster.
So GSC and THQ aren't thieves at all, but just payed for external assets, as did Valve.

It has to do with time and available resources, not creativity. It's not a good idea to have your most creative artists working on simple texturing when they can be working on more spectacular elements of a game.
Outsourcing is used extensively in the game industry. It's all part of what keeps the price below $100 a copy.
