Rockstar's Houser talks EA takeover

Houser says he sees some appeal in being under EA and that his company would be a "much smaller fish in a much bigger pond."

He wants EA to be his daddy. ;D With reason.

DailyAddict5825d ago

EA must be feeling confident about acquiring them after taking out that 1 Billion Dollar loan. The only way that the GTA series wouldn't get completely and utterly demolished by EA is with a similar agreement ala Vivendi/Activision. If EA has their way, there'd be a GTA every year and it'd more than likely would be complete and utter crap as they just try to capitalize off the name.

Sadly, people would still buy it. Just look at Madden or Smackdown.

I'd sure as hell buy a Chuck Norris game. When the hell is that coming out?

Chuck Norris5825d ago

I'm kind of busy doing live motion captures for God of War 3.

Meresin5825d ago

I have a bad feeling that, if this mess goes hostile, they won't be getting the same sort of agreement that allows Blizzard to stay autonomous. EA is going to want to bilk the GTA franchise for all the money they can, and they'll destroy it in the process. They don't care.

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. 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.
