GB: "It’s the end of 2017 and World of Warcraft still dominates the western hemisphere as the most popular massively multiplayer role-playing game on the planet – 13 years after its initial launch. While there are a few stalwarts (Guild Wars 2, Elder Scrolls Online, Final Fantasy XIV, and even Star Wars: The Old Republic), the MMORPG hasn’t seen a true hit since the year Azeroth broke the Internet. And yet, as editor of MMORPG.com and GameSpace.com, I’m here to tell you that the genre isn’t dead. It’s the future. It’s the always. The MMO is all around us…you just can’t see it anymore."

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.

Not really. I was an MMO junkie for years, but developers are too easily pushed into making them soloable and effectively killed guilds and grouping with random dungeon party finders.
I still prefer a storied single player game, always have and until someone can deliver a new Star Wars Galaxies experience, something that truly pushes teamwork, community and non-toxic grouping, MMOs are pretty much dead.
If anything MMOs are a dieing breed. Everything is free to play and the old days of proper guilds, teamwork and research are long gone.
Developers are focused on solo content mostly.
Nope this will just cause a Video Game crash if Single Player RPGs become a thing of the past
MMO is no longer the future. In the late 90's early 00's its all anyone talked about; Dark Ages of Camlot, Ultima Online, and WoW those games were great but as almost every MMO is a clustered mess of trying to be Solo while trying to promote guilds/clans and pump MT in your face its a dieing genre.
I believe Online Co-Op is the wave of the future. Games with strong story based narratives that can be shared with a few friends in a closed world.
