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.

the biggest one in my books was when square went to sony after sony sold them on cheaper mediums and more money. Square truly changed their Allegiance after making games, for years only on Nintendos previous 2 consoles. I do think nintendo is to blame though since the N64 should nto of been cartidge based, however it was also a sign that Square was about the money, something we saw repeat when they went multiplat with Final Fantasy.
Bungie went multiplat, Insomniac went multiplat and SK just went where the work was. No big deal in my books, but the when square went to sony, trust me, if the internet was what it is now, it would of melted.
Square was never "exclusive." They were making exclusive titles for the PS1, PS2 and Gameboy, but its only just recently that they they're doing multiplatform titles.
With less than lack luster results...
And again, the Nintendo/Sony move is nothing Sony/MS. "Moving" to MS has brought no technical advantage to Square titles, and has only left the question that they've even had to lower their standards.
Even before the internet on this scale, I remember the blow out from that via magazines and the "school yard".
This was, truly, a "megaton", a game going multiplatform is NOTHING. Back then, Squaresoft had, essentially, turned their back on the biggest game company at the time, the company who had REJECTED Sony's CD add on for the SNES that became the PlayStation and really were one of the main props Sony had for that generation while they really established themselves.
The impact was.... insane. Squaresoft was a coup on the scale of... well... nothing today.
At that time of purchase, Rare was huge. They have fallen since.
