Why Can't Comedy Games be Funny to Play?

Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw writes, "Sometimes I say things straight from my heart that I need to go back and examine more closely from a more analytical perspective.

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.

Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
