CCC says: "Both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 have been revealed and, sadly, it looks like neither of them are going to be backwards compatible. Yes, this includes every digitally distributed title and every piece of DLC that you have. Sony has announced that you may, eventually, be able to play previous PlayStation titles via their new Gaikai streaming service, while Microsoft is still keeping tightlipped about how the Xbox One will handle previous Xbox titles. However, it looks like both consoles won’t come packaged with backwards compatibility right out the gate."
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

I think it totally ok for the systems not to be BC. I mean I'd be nice but when I buy a next-gen machine I'm ready for some next-gen games.
Me too, I don't mind holding onto my old systems
Bullshit....consoles should be backwards compatible. Stop damage controlling the situation. This system doesn't play used games, is always online, doesn't play Xbox 360 games, and is a glorified TV box that charges you $50 a year to play online games.
F*ck Microsoft, you suck balls
Its okay with me too, seeing as how I'm very much leaning towards skipping next generation entirely so far.
Its not that big a deal but there are some who wouldn't upgrade so quickly if they don't have access to their older games. Playing 360 games wouldn't only mean you can play your entire collection but it also means any 360 games Xbox One won't get next year are playable. Since it can't play them XBOne won't have access to some games that won't get on the console next year.
