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

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.
I think so. I can't say exactly when, but it's clear that gaming journalism is evolving. The industry would evolve as a whole if the people who covered it got more shine, but it takes time. I see gaming journalism going through an awkward phase now, but it'll get better. It gets better everyday if you ask me.
Nope.
There'll be a lot of big corporate retards dumping money into magazines and websites with journalists who have zero experience with the gaming industry but maybe dabble in some tech and have a strong background in literature and journalism. The result? A lot of articles about video games and the future of gaming that most gamers will roll their eyes at. It's already happening right now.
While there are tons of fanboys ruining the industry with tripe (some of which comes from sites frequently appearing on N4G -- no need to name names) I do think the only legitimate video game journalism comes from industry-insiders who are gamers themselves. I like what Joystiq has to offer and a few other blogs along that line.
The main problem is that I just don't see video game journalism ever becoming "legit" in the eyes of mainstream and I certainly don't see mainstream journalism ever appealing to the core gamer that keeps the core industry afloat. Oftentimes mainstream journalists just don't have a clue about the industry, and I doubt this will change anytime soon.
