I really don't know why these guys don't try a Kickstarter, though? As far as I know you don't have to pay anything to put a project up on KS, so there's really no reason not to, unless I'm missing something?
I don't think funding is an issue. Grigorovich is the one who cancelled the project because he wasn't happy with the progress and wanted time off to spend with his family. He is the owner of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. IP and wasn't willing to relinquish the rights to it (right decision, methinks).

Somehow I don't think that Bethesda would be the best fit either. Of course Bethesda's parent company is ZeniMax, which also owns id Software, but I can't see the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. world running on id Tech 5. They also own Arkane Studios (Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, Dishonored), so there might be potential there, but I'd still rather see the original developers complete the game. They probably won't thought, so in a not so perfect world, the guys over at 4A Games (Metro 2033 and Last Light) would be near perfect, but I don't think they'd want to do it.
