JI writes: "It is well known that armed forces do play video games while overseas doing tours and active duty. Not all times call for such lax measures, however it is a good stress relief, recreation, and in some cases forms of communication with friends and family back home to hop on a PC or gaming console as well as play some video games such as Call of Duty.
However, some of the US soldiers in Afghanistan have taken it upon themselves to commit acts comparable to the "No Russian" mission in Modern Warfare 2 while on duty. Murdering friendlies and civilians (in an attempt to be covert and take an otherwise unseizable location) in what is being called a "Kill Team" operation, this crew brought their sport-like first person shooting out of the video game and into real life."

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.
Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.
SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space
Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
That is absolutely horrible.
wtf why exactly did they do this
This is sad.
Edit:These guys deserve whatever is coming to them.
Damn no wonder the world is a mess right now.
Careful, you're treading on some dangerous ground here.
Comparisons to COD's *largely fictionalized* version of war, and tragedies such as this open the doors for all manner of discussion regarding gaming's supposed desensitization effects...
That said, do I think these soldiers were deliberately reenacting a Call of Duty stage? Not in the least.
No wonder the rest of the world hates us
