Not a chance, the great reception of the Doom campaign proves that gamers still really want this kind of thing. Shadow Warrior 2 is coming soon too and that also looks fantastic.

It was the CoD craze last gen that really have killed the FPS genre in general in terms of SP campaign. Since MW2, devs were making SP campaigns just for the sake of it and sold their games solely based on MP! Activision had it good with CoD but now CoD campaigns are all going to the drain! EA has it great with BFBC series but in the end left it for crappy campaigns in BF3, BF4 and Hardline and ultimately strip it out altogether with SWBF!

Other devs are just not there anymore. Nowadays, it's either huge publisher or indie and barely anything in between which is kinda sad! 343i had the chance to make it good with Halo 5 but the campaign was terrible and uninspired.

So yeah...MAYBE, good SP FPS is indeed endangered.

It might become true,after all we just play the campaign that costs millions to make just one or two times,and play MP for hundreds of hours,I love the campaigns but eventually studios might just get rid of them ...

If the reception of Wolfenstein and Doom have taught us anything its that people still enjoy and want good single player FPS games.

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.
