University students were asked to play a violent video game or a driving game over three days
They were then set a couple of tests to see how they reacted to the outside world
Those who played shoot-em-ups like Call of Duty were more likely to assume the world was hostile and react aggressively
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.

A little disclaimer to the Non UK readers. This is the Daily Mail so it is unlikely this study was that significant. Its the DM after all. Also mind the comments. They tend to be idiotic.
"We would know more if we could test players for longer periods of time, but that isn't practical or ethical." Well there you go. There may not be a long term impact
Hearing Christmas music for eight hours a day at work makes me a tad edgy. Doing that for 5 days makes me...psychotic perhaps is the best word? Or maybe just very annoyed. The games help take the edge off.
masturbating with death grip might be harmful too, yet well never know...
Good, let the hate and aggressive behaviour flow through me. Video Games are an outlet to let off steam. Would you rather me kill people on a video game? Or run through the streets?
:p
Watching day time tv for 20 minutes can also encourage aggressive behaviour, how about driving your car through London? that really does "encourage aggressive behaviour"
Iike it reads it the title, "can" encourage aggressive behaviour........"if your a weak minded individual"
