VGR: Last week was a week for freedom.
I’m not just talking about it being the 4th of July, I’m talking about freedom for two people in media who decided to come out of the closet and announce their homosexuality (or in one case, bisexuality).
News icon Anderson Cooper and up and coming R&B star Frank Ocean both decided to allow the world into their bedrooms last week, each announcing in their own unique way their love for people of the same gender. It was a big step for both men, as each had been constantly dogged by rumors of their homosexuality (or bisexuality, in Frank’s case) for some time, and they each felt it was time to put the rumors to rest, each in a written letter.
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

INDIE Live Expo, Japan’s premiere online digital showcase series , will debut never-before-seen games & content updates across more than 100 titles on May 25th.
Right behind this, no issues on my part.
Think it would be good to see this.
Even if it was a character who acts "gay/Bisexual"...but it's never actually confirmed, if you catch my drift.
Karen Walker is like that from Will and Grace, Stewie from Family Guy and Roger from American Dad
Look at JD from Scrubs, he acts pretty gay especialy his bromance with Turk but we all know he's not...it's just part of his characters charm and why we all like him so much
I would love to see that kind of character in a videogame but at the same time somehow manages to be the hero.

It happened...
All depends on the game and it's story.
Creating a gay character for the sake of creating a gay character . . . that's unneeded.
To be fair, I see things in the same vein as normal relationships in games. Don't even implement it if it doesn't serve an actual purpose.
If it's there just to be there, just cut it. It serves no real purpose.
I am more than happy to see this happen. It's more than time. Just handle it properly.
It would actually be really refreshing. As long as they don't portray that person in a very stereotype way. No way near all gays walk around talking like girls, wear makeup and listen to Mariah Carey.
To be honest who cares? how many game characters get the girl like they do in a hollywood flick?
How many game characters do we grow close to and have some empathy for?
So it's neither here or there until it becomes more than DRake, Mario or Bowser getting the chick.
You have not even conquered ethnic characters yet and you want to discuss gay ones...get in line mate lol
