10 Biggest Lies Told By The Gaming Industry

WC - Whether you want to believe it or not, gaming is a business, and the goal of this business like any other is to sell, sell, sell. The warm blissful stereotypical family that Nintendo put on is a lie, the incredibly forced social angle Sony put on is a lie and finally; the cool, trendy and or fly, attitude Microsoft has with their bloody Xbox is a big fat diabetic lie.

Sony just can't catch a break, can they?

darthv724055d ago

and the funny part is that pic used is more flaim bait than anything else. The sony conference was #10 (in case anyone was wondering) but the rest of his list was all over the place.

In fact.....so was the spelling and punctuation (or lack of). I did like the one part where he said that:

"The other issue with most reviewers today is every Tom, Dick and Harry can set up a website and spout their opinion about their favourite game"

And yet what is this guy doing himself??? Spouting his opinion of everything he finds wrong in the industry.

The irony of hypocrisy.

Wow. This was painful to read. I would have liked to have seen more examples, other than just speculation. The point saying that games are lying, claiming they're Sandboxes before release, definitely needed more examples. How is this a full point if the writer doesn't even provide us with more than one example? I'm sure there are more, but honestly, it's your job to provide some of them instead of leaving the readers to try and make sense of your article.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

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.
