"For the first time in months, I finally turned on my sexy piece of plastic the other day and played a game after the expected painstakingly long update. Playing the game felt good, very good. The game was Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. It’s a great game, but I didn’t buy it on the PS Vita. See, I bought it for the PS3 and received a copy for the PS Vita for free via a Cross-Buy promotion. Seeing that I was able to get the same game twice for the price of one (technically less, but you get the idea) was what ultimately drove my purchasing decision. This got me thinking: Could Cross-Buy be the savior the PS Vita is in dire need of?"

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

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.

Cross-Buy is certainly a nice feature. Hell, I plan on getting that deal with Sly 4. But it shouldn't be the point of the system. Before you throw perks like that onto your platform, it should be able to stand strongly on its own legs with some exclusive software.
I can't stress this enough, more games like Gravity Rush and Tearaway, perhaps a quality Ratchet/Jak game and other such ideas.
The reason I say this is because of the 3DS. It wasn't enough to just have two N64 remakes. It needed newer content; Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Resident Evil and Kid Icarus were big ones around that time.
Couple those games with a price drop and now the 3DS is consistently beating out all other platforms. The Vita can do exactly the same thing in performance with the right push. The hardware is damn good enough and deserving of that.
No,people want exclusive quality PSV software.
Sony u can't half ass something,like Gearbox's Randy Pitchford said Nintendo went all in with dual screen technology and got lag down to almost zero ? cross play will make it worse because it will seem like an after thought,if they did cross play with ps4 then were talking.
