GamePlayersReview.com looks at the dirty tactics game developers use to increase profit.
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.

This is how they make money
They put their right hand in. They put their right hand out. They put their right hand in & they shake it all about. They do the hokey pokey & they turn themselves around. That what it's all about yeah
1-put guns how weapons in every game possible.
2-put a guy with a gun in the game box art.
3-sell the game talking of graphics,res,frame rate.
4-make review embargos of overhyped games.
5-give gifs to reviewers to get more forgiving scores.
6-use high end pc footage how console footage in reveals or trailers.
What snooki hair on my avatar? Microsoft take my money!!!!!1!1
The scummiest way game developers make money is by advertising & hyping games with features that are not in the game & the final product not reaching the advertised level.
Worryingly It seems to be increasing ten-fold over the last 3-4 years as well. It's something that happens in no other industry & simply legally wouldn't be allowed in any other either. Yet the games industry not only allows it but thrives on it & pre sells you the game based on these lies.
At some point soon I think they will go too far though & I think some kind of new legislation will be brought in to stop it, although it'll only get worse before it gets better.
