The AAA Price Tag

Joseph Dwan writes: It came out recently that The Order: 1886 might be a 5 hour and 30 minute long game, and many reviews seem to support that this is possible, although the average player will take 1-2 hours longer. Gamers certainly seem to be wary of such a short campaign, especially when we have some rather disappointing singleplayer campaigns in many shooters. The reason, I feel, for why this is an especially legitimate concern lies in the quality of other games.

I think the problem is due to value. Is 60$ price tag worth a game that you can beat virtually in one sitting?

So far I've heard the graphics, and cinematic universe is great but that's about it.

I didn't buy Ryse because it didn't have substance I was realistic and didn't wanna spend 50$ or 60$ on it because it simply isn't worth the price for the they wanted. Till this day I still never touched it.

Ryse just like The Order was overpriced and just not very memorbale experience.

The Order will quickly be forgotten just like Ryse Truth be told. Unvarnished, harsh and straight forward opinion but thats the likely hood of this game.

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

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.
