Really, what do people get out of it?!!! ;)

I don't know because it's not something that is difficult to achieve. It's the opposite, it's incredibly easy. The difficult part is being first on an article that boils over.

So, uh, one of their points is "incessant whining," yet much of the rest of the article could be justified as whining. :D

Annoying trends:
# Motion gaming (we should leave it at the wii and be done with it tbh)
# 3D (but u can turn it off so meh)
# Crappy MMoS that are guaranteed to fail from the instant anybody sees the first screenshot. Then they go on and keep making the damn things... millions down the drain. That would be all the ones on their way except SWToR and GW3.

Trends Im most annoyed with this generation is DLC (milking this gen is out of control) and watering down games to make them more appealing to the masses, AKA mainstream and casual gamers. Make new IP's for them and leave the more complex games.... well more complex.

Don't sissify my tried and true franchises. Leave them alone.

Games that are called "free" to play...

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

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.
