Welcome to this week's, "Sequel, Spin Off, Start Over or Stay Dead?" Each week Diehard GameFAN is going to look at a dormant franchise that was once pretty popular, but for some reason has disappeared into the sands of time. Diehard GameFAN staffers will have four options for what they want to have happen to the series and you can see them in the title of this piece.
This week, they're visiting the 2D platforming mascot retirement home located in Videoland. Hey, look, it's Mario, Sonic and, over there, it's Bonk! Wait … who is that in the corner? Where are its pants? Is that a bobcat wearing a T-Shirt with an exclaimation point on it gnawing on yarn and mumbling to itself? Why, yes, it's Bubsy! If you'll recall, our supply of yarn balls has been kept safe from the alien race of the planet Rayon during the invasion of 1993 and who could forget when he saved time itself from a greedy pig in 1994, rescued the alternate reality of classic storybook tales in 1994 and was featured on the same cart as Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in Europe in 1995? What's that? You only remember his 3D game that led to him filing bankruptcy and disappearing into the annals of time (a trailer park in Blaine, Missouri)? It might be possible some of our readers have no idea who Bubsy the Bobcat is, but, thankfully, it seems most of the Diehard GameFAN staff is well-versed on the subject. With a total of four games in the platforming realm, Bubsy definitely had to have some claim to fame, so why don't we see him anymore? Is it his time to return with the sudden surge of platforming titles or should those nails stay firmly fastened into his gaming career coffin?

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.
