Dean Vella of Nizulo writes: "It’s no secret that digital distribution is the future of gaming. For other industries such as the music industry, this is already the norm. Gaming is slowly transitioning into becoming digital-only, but it’s much too early for the industry to completely change, and eliminate physical media. Such was made apparent through Microsoft’s recent failed attempt, and the failure of the digital-only ‘PSP Go’. But will this always be the case? Let’s take a look at how digital distribution can and will affect the gaming industry."
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

AMD has long been the best value option if you're looking for a new GPU. Now even their latest Radeon RX 7000 series is getting cheaper.
INDIE Live Expo, Japan’s premiere online digital showcase series , will debut never-before-seen games & content updates across more than 100 titles on May 25th.
I'll always be old school and want the physical copy. I have a collection. I like the art behind the game. The collectors edition games, etc. I still buy the good games gaming guides from time to time.
umm... NO. It takes me days to download games that are more than 1g. It'll be easier to go to the store buy the game then come home. It won't even take a quarter of a day.
It's really amusing. Of course it is the future, it's is just a matter of time for console gamers. I don't honestly understand why they're so obsessed with having a physical copy of their games but you can bet that after this coming generation, more and more console gamers will use the digital services. PC gamers... well, we're already converted.
I give it one more generation after next before consoles are nothing but digital distribution.
way of the future, not way of the present. nice try though.
I'm going that way just because its easier to switch between games and its less stress on the drive over time. I will be buying my ps4 games digitally so that I can use remote play with more than one game. Also I never have to worry about losing the disc or it getting stolen. I was always into physical copies but since my Internet is fast I don't mind.
