"Free to Play" games... or "Pay to win" games have been entering the gaming market more than ever this past year. Are they good for gaming? Are they the future of gaming? There are pro's and con's to these types of games and the WiHD Rocks! News Team will go in depth to tell you 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

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.

AAA games made with zero money, that is "Free to Win", I thinks that's Okay.
Basically it's the publisher selling the game piece by piece, if the game is free to being with then I'm OK with that, but if it's a full priced game full of microtransactions and DLC like EA plans to do next-gen then no, it's horrible for the industry.
It is pay to win simple as that... and if you play free to play games and not put money into it... than you are nothing but cannon fodder for those that do pay.
This business model is the worst thing to happen to gaming out side of DRM on physical copys..
I never liked F2P games. I don't like how those who open their wallet more has an advantage over those who don't. Funny how many people spend more money in F2P games than in P2P games.
How do you like to be beat by people that have better gear because they spent more money than you.. That's F2P games for you
