Are cops more trigger-happy when aiming guns at minorities? That's the question sociologists and political scientists have studied since the 1970s, and the answer may lie in a video game.
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

Ugh, more hate on the police.
EDIT: not to say that there are no racist cops, but I wonder how fair this "video game" was to the police.
black cops are more aggressive towards white people, so this will never end
DO these "researchers" and "experts" and "activists" have anything better to do with their time? Really now. The police catch so much flak already because it's "fad" to hate the cops. I get tired of this. If these people were in danger and they needed the police you guessed it, they all of a sudden love them.
It seems immaturity runs more rampant than I once thought. Living around police officers I can tell you none of them are racist. There are some, there will always be men and women who should not become a cop. These few bad apples seem to give the rest of them a bad name. Much like with Gamers some kid goes out and shots some people, turns out he plays some shooters and now the gaming community as a whole is to blame as well as the industry.
The police leave their families each day and night to go out there and risk their life knowing they may not come home to protect those of whom they do not know. To help keep us safe. People should really look up some History about why we needed them here in the States in the first place, then maybe a few will see why they are useful and serve a purpose. Same thing with people who have a problem with our Troops. They don't seem to realize the reason we get to have our freedom of speech and to be able to sleep at night is because of brave men and women who make sacrifices to keep us free and safe, yet so many people overlook that important fact! Without these men and women we would not have our freedoms or the ability to sleep so peacefully, not to mention the quality of life that many of us enjoy here in America.
@ Xionpunk.
Yes, I wonder how "fair" this "game" was for the Police. Cops are under enough stress already from family life and problems to problems at work to probelems on the streets. The things they see day in and day out. To me it's just not very fair to throw them in the spotlight! For what? To "prove" some point. Give me a break, I would like to know one person who would say they would not call the Police if they were in trouble, of course those who are not criminals.
Not only are the police more aggressive toward black people but they profile us all the time. Just yesterday I was in a new development looking for a lot to build a house on and the police followed me and stopped me asking "what are I doing out here, are you looking for somebody"? I told him no I'm looking for a lot to build on he replied " oh I was just asking because I never seen you out here before" I told him in other words you are racial profiling. he looked shocked that I said that then drove off.
The police officers themselves aren't the problem. The problem lies in how they are educated. More social skills/psychology, less army attitude. They need to start approaching citizens as humans, not as potential criminals. We pay tax money to have them protect us, not to have them abuse their power and beat or kill us. Especially not because of the color of our skin.
