Every year we start trying to guess what the Game Of The Year will end up being, this year is no different. The funny thing to me is that there are so many different Game Of The Year awards it’s kind of hard to say which one means the most, if any. This year was supposed to be the year in which we were bombarded with quality titles, it should have been a real war for Game Of The Year, but it’s not really turning out that way. Mass Effect 3 was pushed back until next year, same with Twisted Metal and quite a few other games. Basically all of these companies had the bright idea to release their games at or around the same time as one another, then later on thought better of the idea and so postponed their respective games. The following list, which is in no particular order is simply how I see the race for Game Of The Year 2011. More than likely they will each win that award from one source or another.
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.

It's a solid list, but why only pick from a pool of games that haven't even come out yet? I suppose it says something about the brand recognition more than the games themselves.
