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

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.

I too have experienced this. Right in the middle of Red Dead Redemption. It only lasted a week though.
I just take a look at the overwhelming increase of amazing titles i need to purchase and play, that i just let out a sigh and consider giving up gaming. Of course the effect is only temporary, but yes, it happens.
Exactly how i feel when i start up a MP game. Absolutley no motivation whatsoever.
Kill. Die. Respawn. Rinse. Repeat. The same for all MP games.
At least with single player, there is a decent story allowing me to continue playing just to know what happens next.
When I wrote this I figured that other people would have similar dry spells. Its a shame when it happens and its strange how your feelings change towards gaming. I definitely felt relieved after it was all over though.
Being a journalist myself, this happens to me more often than not. The 'Dry Spell' hits me a lot as far as new games go. They lack the fun levels of older games ( to me ).
