Because clearly video games were Vietnam's biggest social and economic problem.

I wonder if they will start protesting like Egypt and Syria

RedDead4811d ago

This is when Hackers become useful

TXIDarkAvenger4811d ago

That sucks. But honestly it should be the users choice when to play online and when not to.

thrasherv34811d ago

No. This is how communism works.

tablav4811d ago

In fairness, East Asia is usually where the stories of children starving to death due to neglect from their MMO-playing parents come from.

I'm not entirely surprised this has happened.

FantasyStar4811d ago

Can we just bomb Vietnam and fly our boys in to bring democracy already?

Yes_24811d ago

Please tell me you're joking.

ChristianGamer4811d ago

Who is we? All you do is sit at a desk and type nonsensical comments. So don't say we

FantasyStar4811d ago (Edited 4811d ago )

Says the xbot geohot-loving pirate. Sure buddy. Surre....

"nonsense" is the guy at the desk that supports a pirate-douche like geohot. Knowing that piracy can and will put honest devs out of work and nearly killed all of PC gaming except Steam because people feel "entitled" to their hardware a bit too much. PS3 for homebrew? YA RIGHT, stop kiddin yourself.

lociefer4811d ago

ya im pretty sure killing thousands of ppl will bestow democracy /sarc

FantasyStar4811d ago

We did it before in 2005 and it worked.

imoutofthecontest4811d ago

Hahaha whose alt account is this? Masterful trolling, truly. This is no rookie we're dealing with.

NaiNaiNai4811d ago

I'm not about to drag my ass over to another country that doesn't need us.

Hell I'm almost tired of fighting for idiots like you.

Kos-Mos4810d ago

Like you did before? Did you not learn anything from Full Metal Jacket? Or all the old vegetables in us that fought in the war?

Let's think about this for a moment, shall we? Let's say the US or some place in EU decided, "You can't play late at night". Now, you get up at around 7 AM, get ready, walk out the door at 8:15, get to work at 9 AM, then work to 5 PM. You now have 5 hours to play your games online. Is that fair to you, the consumer? You paid for the game with your hard-earned money, then your government decides to tell you what you can and can't do with your very legal product?

To put it bluntly, that's BULLSHIT.

Mmmkay4811d ago

get a night job from 11pm to 7am.... game all you want. no problem.

gman_2974810d ago

No.

But I'm sure the gamers in Vietnam are.

TheObserver4811d ago

Like hell that's going to be enforced. That's basically telling internet cafe not to take customer's money.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

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.
