"EA must be stopped. Their recent bid of $2 billion for Take Two Interactive is just the latest in a long history of using money to eliminate the competition, and only fuels the anti-EA sentiment felt by millions of gamers."

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.

Microsoft would save the day...
Stop these guys before we see yearly GTA installments for every console on the market. Money isn't everything in video games. It's a passionate and creative business.
EA must be stopped for the sake of video gamers.
Yeah, EA the omni-corp of games has been getting to me. They seem to have this overwhelming games as a product and not games as entertainment that really needs to stop. I don't want a bland game, I want to be entertained and engaged by my games.
EA seems to stick to a 'what's going to be popular' instead of 'what's new and entertaining.' In fact, look at what happened to Black. Part of the company was disbanded.
But really the power is in the gamer on this one. If we where really adamant about stopping EA, then we would all take a vow never to buy a game made by EA if they buy up Take Two. I'd be for doing it, even with Spore coming out.
They disband their own internal studios, regardless of creativity or critical acclaim. Like MS, all they look at is quarterly revenue. Def Jam and Fight Night were great games, but even that didn't stop EA from firing everyone in their Chicago studio.
I've never been so upset until today..
We are looking at 1 version of SPORTS games forever..
The Overtaking of some of our favorite franchises, which might be watered down.
Somebody has to do something..EA has been eating companies since early 90's and no sign of stopping. Anybody has money?
