This year at the Spike TV Video Game Awards, we saw the announcement of the new Batman Arkham Asylum, the sequel to a game that released just three months ago. There was no set date for release however, there is a large chance we could see the game in late 2010. The question I pose to you is this; do you want your favorite franchises on a yearly basis?"
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.

INDIE Live Expo, Japan’s premiere online digital showcase series , will debut never-before-seen games & content updates across more than 100 titles on May 25th.
Uh no leave Uncharted sequels to come out on a 2 year basis. Quality>Quantity.
there are no good games that come out every year worth purchasing.
except L4D series :3
Bad enough sports titles do this. Now with L4D2 and ODST selling for full price when it should have sold for less but being successful regardless, will have a negative effect. There will be devs that will look to take advantage and cut corners and resources to push a popular game out there for a quick money grab.
Next half life game will most likely be much better than L4D 1&2 due to the time and resources thrown into it. Same goes for Reach.
We as gamers need to be on the lookout because these so called professional gaming publications will side most of the time with the industry they report on instead of gamers.
In my opinion developers are better off making games and then giving us DLC while they work on a true sequel to there games.
Reach will be the 4th Halo game in 4 years so we already have a yearly Halo game and that resulted in 2 lackluster games that didn't live up to the high standards of the series(Wars and ODST). I'd prefer quality over quantity but maybe some fans just need a fix of their favourite game. I agree with the author's sentiments on at least a 2 year cycle although yearly sports games still make sense.
