This new generation brings together all the things we wanted in a video game console. These new systems now have large hard drives, are able to be updated via the internet and, starting with last generation, you can now download games to your console's hard drive (and start playing it before it is done downloading). The problem for most gamers now becomes do you buy a physical copy of the game or do you just download it. There are many pros and cons for each. But for those who love your games lining your shelves, I am sorry to say the days of the physical disc are numbered and this console generation will see that happen.

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.

Not with internet caps. Disc must succeed. Because of data caps.
ineviable...bla...bla...bla... no thank you, some guys prefer to keep a game they like in physic form so they can keep them forever, buying digital mean there will be a chnce that you lost that game if your account get ban
Something about having that disc in your hand and the collector's edition goodies........ digital special editions are just ridiculous. I agree with Jamsam360 on the data cap stance as well....data caps and poor connections all over the world should keep that from happening for a while.... will it happen eventually? Probably, but not in the immediate future.
I don't see this happening if the likes of Comcast-TWC enforce data caps and Net Neutrality ceases to exist.
I actually like discs for the value as a collectors item and for the longevity of its functionality. People who have Super Nintendo carts can play those game even decades later. Even if they are alone in the desert or mountains with no reliable internet connection.
