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.

1. Demons Souls.
It was very refreshing and one of the top 10 best games i have played in my entire life.
For me, It may actually be Bioshock. That's one game that delivered the goods, surpassing the crazy amount of hype built up around it, and a game that utilizes one of the most unique environments and design I've ever seen.
A game that surprised me in a (bad) way may be GTA IV. What a letdown. You have the gigantic open world concepts of the earlier generations, nearly perfected on (then) limited hardware, and screwed it up.
I don't know if was because of the driving mechanics, which made the actual act of moving about tedious and frustrating, almost like steering a damned submarine, or the incessant phone calls from your cousin that never ended. The game got so irritating, and that simply was never a factor in earlier games.
I suppose a runner up would be Silent Hill. What the hell? I'm in complete and utter shock that the franchise did little (or nothing) with this generation. All I can remember thinking was, 'Imagine what THIS game (at the time of Silent Hill 2) would look like on next gen hardware. The monsters would be absolutely terrifying"...And nothing came of it. Survival horror is a dying genre, and I suppose it's one of the bigger franchises that disappointed this generation.
Fallout 3. I HATED it when I first played it, but after giving the game two more tries, it quickly became one of my all-time favorite games. I got lost in the Capital Wasteland for a good 200 hours, and I beat all the DLC. I never had a game surprise me quite like that before.
MW1-2
Fallout 3. The game is just amazing
