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.

So true. Games have become so much simpler
I think there's lots of reasons, but the two main ones are...
In the old days games were challeneges. They had to engage the player in some way - and as graphics were so poor the game play or challenege had to be there.
Now, with game budgets at multi million dollars, the emphasis has changed from being a challenge to being an 'experience'. I doubt many devs would survive long if they spent millions making a AAA game that was so challenging people gave up before the end.
Plus, when anything breaks in to the mainstream it ends up getting dumbed down... Look at music, movies and now video games.
Unfortunately the masses are dumb, but that's where the profits are.
As long as there are enough games that satiate my need for challenge and story I'll still be a happy gamer. Let the masses have their crap - that crap makes profits and those profits are sometimes directed in to more risky projects.
I agree, this has been something that has annoyed me to no end. Give us a proper challenge
I just hope it doesn't get to a point where there are no good games left to play for the real gamers.
