When I was growing up, everything good about video games seemed to come from Japan. It wasn’t just videogames either, technology wise, Japan, or more specifically, Tokyo, always felt like another planet. The bright lights, the tech stores, the arcades, it was the stuff of dreams. Those days are arguably long gone, but a return to the glory days of Japanese video game development isn't unthinkable.
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

INDIE Live Expo, Japan’s premiere online digital showcase series , will debut never-before-seen games & content updates across more than 100 titles on May 25th.
Japan is lagging dangerously behind the West in regards to video game development'
Well, welcome for 2006.
It's always been back and forth with everything. First it was us that were better then they were better and now it's us again. They'll comeback. We learn from each other .
Japan needs to step it up. But also too the Japanese gamers need to show their support. The biggest market for games there is handheld and mobile games. In turn Japanese Devs have trouble finding a market to sell new IPs and risk losing profit because their audience just isn't there.
The only problem i have right now with Japan is SEGA, they need to show more respect to their fans.
