Gamer Limit writes "Most of us in our mid to late twenties have been gaming since we were very young. The more hardcore of us (hint: if you are reading this, then you are one of them) still continue to purchase every console on release, purchase every triple-A title on release, and pretty much spend almost all of our free time on the hobby.
Recently, one of my favourite YouTubers, LukeMorse1, a collector with one of the largest gaming stocks in history, ended his video posts indefinately with a dreadfully sad vlog within which he detailed how he lost his wife and child due to a "selfish" obsession with his hobby. What made it all the more difficult to watch, was that it is an example of what could happen to any of us."

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.

A very moving video that serves as an important reminder of where priorities truly lie.
Sad but true... it COULD happen to any of us. Just look how many lives/careers/marriages Everquest and WoW decimated.
....You pick up crack as hobby.
This is a must watch video for everyone.
moving video i hope it turns out good for him :(
