Some gamers live to complain about the price of their favorite hobby. "The PlayStation 3 costs too much. Microsoft robs us with its microtransactions. Nintendo overcharges for its Virtual Console games."
They need to get over it.
Gaming has never been cheaper. Sure, some Electronic Arts games cost upwards of $100 with Xbox Live downloads, and yeah, Nintendo deserves a kick in its corporate crotch for charging $5 for Super Mario Bros., but with constant sales, free games (read emulators) and tons of features packed into each console and PC. It could be a lot worse though, as in 15 years ago worse. Let's examine what gamers enjoy today, as opposed to what they enjoyed back in the day. Finally, we'll consider inflation and see what those old systems would probably cost today.

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.

thats the cheap part.
Think how much you will be spending on games.
But they forget that its your choice whether or not to buy it. I think if Microsoft would incorporate a review/rating system for all the DLC on the Xbox Live Marketplace it would help tremendously.
