Play games you don't like this October

Alien isolation would be the game I don't think I would like I hate not being able to defend myself

No.

If you pay money for a game you don't like, especially if that copy is digital, then you're wasting your money.

We unfortunately live in the day and age where renting games and demos are all but extinguished systems. Sure, the U.S. has Gamefly, but the U.S. ≠ The World and so game rentals outside of the U.S. just don't happen like they used to.

We're also now moving into the territory of paid demos, which is absolutely ridiculous and something no one should support.

So there's really only 2 options. 1. Research these games as thoroughly as possible before making the decision to try a game you feel like you wouldn't like (or know you wouldn't).

2. Play games you do like so that you're not throwing away $60.

To the author of this article: If you have money to throw away, throw it in my direction please.

It's funny that now that I'm older I'm trying out more games than I did when I was younger. Back then I had less time to game. I joined the military @ 18yrs and got married @23yrs and had 2 kids... So that took up a lot of my time to game and try games that I thought I may or may not like.... Now I'm 46yrs and retired , my kids are grown . Now I have all the time and the money to enjoy playing my favorite hobby .. So I buy games with out thinking about it, if I love or don't I still enjoy doing it. And don't miss out on games because of time and money...

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

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.
