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.

Hmm this brought about deep reflection. Mainly cause, I'm not too sure exactly when I was committed to games for life... I've always been into them. They've always been involved in my life.... so it's hard to pinpoint when they're so much a part of my life style. It's like asking me when I decided I would eat pizza for the rest of my life haha
The Great Circus Mystery Starring Mickey and Minnie started it all for me. Then led to my life long love of fighters. Oh Third Strike, how I will forever love and miss you. :(
Nope
Yup. The day I first played Baldur's Gate, and subsequently when I started Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. I had played games for years before then, but it was the first game I had true ownership of and it opened my eyes to the fact that games can be more than just a hobby - games can be a pure form of entertainment. The distillation of emotional impact such as books or film and the adrenaline rush of a sport.
I freaking love BGII because of how great of a game it is, and for what it means to mean as a gamer.
Yes. I played max payne 1 on ps2 when i was 5. Or mario when i was 4
