After teasing Australian gamers with the chance to win one of 50 highly customized DualSense controllers, it appears that McDonald's forgot to ask one major company for permission to do so: Sony.

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.

LMAO... Who designed that controller, they clearly have never played a video game in their life... LoL
Sony doesnt have to provide their blessing. This wasnt something they sponsored, this is a localized McD thing. They bought the controllers and had them customized.
Only way sony would be involved is if they were doing the promo for McD. But they arent. There are lots of outfits that take retail controllers and customize them for customers.
What McD did wrong was using sony name as clout to promote the giveaway. They cant do that. If they just said, win a custom dualsense 5.... they would have been fine.
Looks like Fisher-Price designed it but I wonder if it would be worth cash because of the limited run, being offered in a certain area, and being a prize. The right collector might pay a handsome price for that controller if its unopened and unused I wonder what it would fetch later on in the future. I wouldn't mind collecting this controller might be odd ball looking but it would be worth it I have the Burger King XB360 games.
So that looks atrocious.
If this were meant as consumerist satire, I'd be all for it. I don't generally rail against "consumerism", but this is just too perfect, lol.
