The state of gaming journalism today

I find it hard to believe that an editor allowed a reviewer to toss such critical info outside of the review like some new drug advertisement hiding the fact that ingestion before sleeping may cause death. This action seems highly suspect, deserving of the cries of 'foul play' that are already circulating on the net, and blatantly irresponsible. It saddens me to think that some people are dropping over $60 for a game (during a recession, no less) that they were tricked into thinking is perfect. We deserve better from our gaming journalists.

What if the state of the economy WAS the reason for these bloated scores? Meaning journalist want to stimulate the economy by keeping video games sales from plummeting and doing so by telling gamers that certain games are better than they really are.

The media and game journalism seem to have moved from objective and having a preference to bias spin.

sucks period. Wel except for IGN.

PrimordialSoupBase5488d ago

IGN's content reads like a bunch of press releases rehashed by intellectually stunted high school students.

A magazine or website that rates games on a five-star basis isn't going to split hairs on defining different levels of perfection, and it's ludicrous to expect as much. Then again, you can never underestimate the stupidity of the average reader...

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.
