CVG - The debate about whether games are, or are not, art has always struck me as deeply stupid, for the following two reasons.
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.

Movies are art... Some of them...
Music is art... Some of it...
Art is art... Some of it...
Games have all of the above in them, they just film CG models rather then over paid people. So yeah, games are art. They tell stories, compose music, and have teams of artist making them come to life... Some of them...
The Flowers of Roger Mapplethorpe begs to differ....
Lmao whoever watches AVGN will understand this lol
This is good... isn't it?
Everything is art as soon as you proclaim it is. Watch a documentary called Exit through the gift shop and you'll see. The whole "that's not art because it differs from what we call art" is just pretentious douchebaggery.
Every single videogame ever made is art, just like every single movie or story, or song ever written is art too. You ever draw a stick figure? Thats art, yuo are a regular picasso. no one has overhyped you drawing to the point of being wanted tho. Its still art. If jackson pollok or whater is considered an artist then so am I, because Ive used spin art and done finger paintings.
art is nothing more than expressing yourself in a medium that can be shared with others, it doesnt have to be good, liked or popular to be art.
All videogames are made by artists of various types and all are art. If you get enough duchy hipsters to like your crappy art then it can be considered a work of art and some moron will pay tons of money for crap.
These morons like to pretend like there is some standard to determine what is and isnt art, any expression that is transfered to a medium is art, these people just want to tell you what is and isnt good so that they can make us think we need deuchy hipsters to make art for us. Reality is that anyone can make art and noone has to say it is good or that it is art for it to be art.
