IGN - Back in the day, exclusives were system sellers. But when console libraries are virtually identical, what becomes the selling point?
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

Exclusive define the console.
The console with no exclusives (Xbox) is in dead last place so that says it all. The PS3 started with few exclusives and they were in last place until the exclusives came and the they shot to second place. If you can play said game on PC(which everyone has) or wait 6 months for the timed exclusivity to expire and play it on the PS3 then why buy an Xbox?
They do if they are marketed right. Sony have some of the best exclusives going just there advertising is terrible. Which is a pity due to my love of there Software.
Exclusives help set the consoles apart from one another, because what would be the point of having multiple consoles if every game was multi-console?
of course it still matter and will always matter
no matter what the other fanboys who don't get any exclusives
say ""it don't matter""
it eat them from the inside they don't have any thing to define their console
this is the truth no matter how they spin it or disagree with it
