IncGamers' Andy Alderson explores the benefits of OnLive, as well as discussing the potential downfall of the game.
"Never one to shy away from grand claims, OnLive's Steve Perlman promised "big news" in his GDC speech today. As if threatening to revolutionise the industry with his cloud gaming service wasn't enough, Perlman sought to silence the cynics by revealing that it will launch in less than three months. Bang in the middle of E3, as it happens, the biggest gaming show of the year. It's a brave move, undoubtedly, and Perlman will have the squinting, light-fearing eyes of the gaming world upon him. To fulfil a professional ambition in quoting Bad Boys 2 in an article, "shit just got real." "

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.

This is great article, I ddin't know that it was going to launch this year. I smell a problem!
I mirror these thoughts - I'm really worried that it's not going to be the be-all-and-end-all that some people are expecting, and I imagine it's going to have a lot of troubles.
It's bound to have a few issues at first, but I have high hopes
The bigger they (their egos) are, the harder they fall :)
It will never work and if it does, the internet will die xD
