From the article: As an aficionado of the art of storytelling and the use of games a form of escapism from the stresses of real life, a hefty portion of my personal gaming time is spent relaxing, fully immersed exploring the vast and enormous worlds that only RPG's can provide. As you can imagine with titles such as Lost Odyssey, Fable 2 and Fallout 3 all doing so well this year, and the likes of Mass Effect before it, its easy to see that it has been a particularly great time to be a fan of the genre. It's not all 'sunshine, lolly-pops and rainbows' however, as while we've seen major improvements with the western-produced action RPG's finally bringing greatly enjoyable real-time combat to the forefront of the experience, we can't help but look at the recent output from Japan and feel that apart from a select few standouts, that the innovation coming from that part of the world has sadly stagnated to quite a considerable degree.

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.

They left innovation behind, and also left out challenging themselves.
Why not use Ps3 to its potential and try to release the game as quickly as possible?
But instead they tend to delay and make xbox exclusive games.
Other Companies that made White Chronicles or V.C are innovating and introducing something new like online or graphics design. FF13 is really like the last hope for square. They need to borrow Sony people to help them out and release the game.
they Think that Microsoft are going to keep giving them money, but sooner or later, they are going to find out wrong they went about doing business. Pissing off one console side is just going to bite them in the back.
