GI - "Both Sony and Microsoft have made it clear that, naming semantics aside, the impending dawn of next-gen gaming won't be the end of current-gen gaming. A lot of consumers were relieved to hear it, but I'll be counting down the days to when I can roll my current-gen systems up in an old carpet and chuck them off a bridge (in compliance with EPA guidelines, naturally). Like a decrepit king who has abdicated the throne to a younger, more competent successor, our current-gen consoles should be quietly and quickly snuffed out for the larger good of the kingdom."
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.
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.
I would’ve focused on the creative.
I'd like to see the PS3 last a few more years. It still has plenty of juice left.
This article is dumb. The guy really says, that games like Killzone or Dead Rising are not able to run on current gen. The thing is, they are not developed for current gen, but nobody can tell me, that with lowered graphics and all, that it would not run, hell, on the original Wii ran CoD Modern Warefare 3. Of course not with that resolution and all, but nobody can tell me, that the gameplay of Killzone wouldnt be possible on a PS3, if developed for^^
This again shows me, what people expect when they say next gen, but truth to be told, next gen only means, getting the newest games, with improved graphics over current gen. I mean, what in the physics department of Killzone, is not possible on current gen, if we only talk about the gameplay, not the high graphics of course.
good riddance to bad rubbish
It's probably gonna happen with MS, but not for Sony. Sony has always made good of their promise of supporting their systems. They said that the PS3 would have a 10 year life span and I'm sure they will deliver. Heck! The last PS2 game came out in 2013! I think it's wise to support the people who supported your system throughout the years while they can slowly transition to the current gen. Just pulling the plug will only hurt gamers.
...whatever happened to waiting until you maxxed out the systems? Don't you want to see the PS3 drop down to $99? Aren't you curious to see what devs pull out of their sleeves during the twilight years of the consoles? Are you THAT MUCH of a graphics whore that you want to put them out to pasture already?
