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

Yes it should work like the used car market. Its bad enough that on Xbox you are charged an extra fee to access the online portion of the game that you paid $60 brand new.
Buying used is putting money into that stores' pockets, not the developer or publisher. So yes, people should pay a bit extra if they are buying used. Perhaps people will smarten up eventually and just pay the extra $5-10 for a game and support the dev/pub so that they can continue to make games you want to play...
I don't think any features should be locked out, but I do believe that there should be more incentive to buy new. Reward the people buying new with free DLC or access to certain parts of the game before people using a second hand copy (maybe a more powerful gun to start with in online FPS games as an example).
Basically, don't punish anyone, but make your new buyers feel wanted.
Until they do this? I'm more than happy with people paying less getting less content.
I have no problem with people paying to go online or whatever, it is pure laziness to buy used.
Used cars don't exchange owners as much as a used game does. Once a car is sold the warrenty goes away and the car manufacturer is not obligated to support the second owner. Support people who pay you and people who don't can join in by paying.
Imagine buying a soda at Mcdonalds. Next sale the cup and that person gets a free drink. You get pay and Mcdonalds gets nothing. That is how used games sales work.
