But you don't have bottomless pockets of money and you might be unsure about which games to get, whether you really should download them or go to a store and... is it really necessary to pre-order? And don't these games ever go on sale?
We have some advice."

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.

simple
major games like Call of Duty can really wait. Small companies like Aksys would gladly take your earlier support so that they can continue to release games overseas. Be glad you're not paying over 100 dollars just to import a game you lucky Americans.
Gonna disagree with the article. Game stops service is hit or miss, mostly miss. BUT, the prices and trade in values are still complete trash everywhere. Terrible place to go if you want games, unless you're supporting a company and want to buy it new.
I'm a PC Gamer so this is for my fellow PC Gamers new to the platform......
1. You see a game you might want more info about before buying:
Youtube Gameplay of it
go to www.Twitch.Tv and watch someone play it
Get info from actual gamers on the Steam forums or chat
Youtube and twitch.TV are all I use to determine if I want to buy a game cause reviews are Bogus and Paid for plus Metacritic is NOT reliable or you may just have different taste..
2. Where to buy
Steam, Good Ole games, Steam, Amazon.com, Steam, Barnes & Noble, Steam. Oh yeah did I mention Steam!
These stores sometimes have EXCELLENT cheap pre-order prices and Steam of course usually drops teh price on the third week after release unless it's a proven franchise that's on console as well.
3. Digital or Physical
Your a PC Gamer, so unless it's a Limited Edition with all kinds of cool stuff i suggest downloading. Who has time to run to a store, find parking, locate the game you want in the store's Broom Closet, stand in line to check out blah blah blah.
You can download that New Game while you sleep or while your at work/school. Steam will also pre load your game so you can play it exactly at Midnight release day.
Enjoy!
Lag a year behind, I got dead space 2 for 120 new at launch(nz) and again recent for 20! I held of on saints 3 and just got it for 35, but black ops 2 I've per ordered, I NEED nuke town 2025!
There are a few games ive preordered this year and Im still going through which games I really want to play on release day or in December. One game I can't cancel due to there policy with that game, I want it anyway.
There are also limited and collector editions I want to get. I will also be racking up points to knock off my collectors edition.
