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.

They're basically made exclusively for fanboys trolling the internets.
A little bit of both. Though it will help developers get sales from those who rely solely on reviews to decide what games they should buy, It also hinders the game unable to sell better than it should if it is given a 6 or 7 of 10 from a mainstream review site. Like IGN for example.
reviews are really so pointless now adays. Mainstream websites are all bought. Smaller websites are unprofessional. Just form your own opinions people.
I think review scores should be done away with. Because what is a rating? What does that truly even mean? You can still have a review and leave the "scoring" totally up to the reader to decide after reading the interview. Which would actually MAKE them read/watch it than simply seeing a score and moving on.
Take The Walking Dead Survival Instinct. I think we all know how that was hammered by scores. But honestly, that game (as a fan) was NOT that bad and most people, will now probably never get the chance to know that.
READ the review, score means nothing to me without the words to explain
