Electronic Arts has slashed prices across over 20 SKUs including Madden NFL 07. It's unusual for the Madden price-cut to be made this early in the season.
EA hasn't responded to calls for comment on this, so the company's reasoning isn't clear. The game has sold well since its August launch, and the franchise has enjoyed growth over the last few years.
Current generation versions of the game have ben slashed by $10, down to $40 by most major retailers. One analyst speculated that this move could be EA simply responding to a perceived weakness in the current generation as two new consoles come to market.
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.

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.
Drop the prices of your games, rather than fix the problems with them.
I voted lame because they waited till now (weeks before PS3/Wii) to drop the price to 39.99 (current gen) when other companys have already done this months ago. (way to fleece your Sports fans EA.)
was only $39.99 from day one. They did that because of a bad reputation of not providing enough of an update to justify the new game for anything more than a driver list update. That could be some of the reasoning for this, i'm not sure how the public has welcomed the games that got cut.
