I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.
the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better
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.
Physical all day everyday.
The only digital games i get are from PS plus. Nothing beats having a physical copy of your purchase to do with as you please.
"Remember the PSN network outage that happened a few years ago and it took about a month to get everything working again? Some people couldn’t play their games because their accounts weren’t being authenticated. I use this example again because I’m a member of PSN. Some games that you purchase might require DRM. This means that it needs to authenticate itself each time you play. What happens if you purchase a game, install it but can’t play it because your game can’t authenticate to the needed server? You’re stuck"
That's not how It works, if you downloaded something already, it's already activated, it does it right before it downloads, and that I belives is if ur acocunt isn't activated. So regardless, unless people went and deactivated their accounts (doubt there were even that many, if not a few), their digital games still worked perfctly fine.
Nonetheless though, it's still A valid point. I will never go full digital as long as physiclal copies and pricing of digital exists.
I am starting to find having a digital copy at ready right on the device or manageable from PC to be very handy. I share concerns like others over entirely cloud based content, but I am finding the convenience when it is working positive.
If my disk breaks, I am toast. If my internet or service goes down, it won't be forever and possible to get something out of it.
I really don't care if something happens to my digital library. I play a game until I get sick of it then move on. If I can't play a current game in 6 years it's no problem to me. There are already so many games I want to play that I can't imagine going back to play older stuff or play a second time. I am not a collector, I have no use for last gen systems once a new one comes out, in fact I'm looking to get rid of my ps3
I'm not keen on it as well. I buy something from time to time, but I rely on physical more.
