Famitsu, the premiere Japanese videogame magazine, has awarded a perfect score to Monster Hunter Tri, the new Wii entry in Capcom's popular action series.
Why is this big news? Well, look at the list of every game that has earned a perfect score from all four of Famitsu's reviewers (from Wikipedia):
1.The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998, Nintendo, for Nintendo 64)
2.Soulcalibur (1999, Namco, for Dreamcast)
3.Vagrant Story (2000, Square Co., Ltd., for PlayStation)
4.The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (2003, Nintendo for Nintendo GameCube)
5.Nintendogs (2005, Nintendo, for Nintendo DS)
6.Final Fantasy XII (2006, Square Enix, for PlayStation 2)
7.Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008, Nintendo, for Wii)
8.Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (2008, Konami, for PlayStation 3)
9.428: Fusasareta Shibuya de (2008, Sega, for Wii)
10.Dragon Quest IX (2009, Square Enix, for Nintendo DS)
11.Monster Hunter Tri (2009, Capcom, for Wii)
Notice anything? Like the fact that Famitsu has now given out nearly as many perfect scores in the last two years as it did in the last 20? At this point, there's no denying it: Something has changed with regards to Famitsu's editorial policy on perfect scores - in an instant, it has gone from almost absurdly stringent to positively magnanimous. But why?

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.
