Games and History Are More Linked Than You Would Think (GodisaGeek.com)

"In recent games (the Assassin’s Creed series being a good example) we are dipped into an environment set many years ago and experiencing this in pseudo-first hand helps us to understand what life was like back then.

Because of this, it’s a convincing argument to say that to learn more about history, children should be encouraged instead of discouraged to play certain video games. The fun element adds leverage to the child’s willingness to engage in the game, so learning from the game’s environment is a logical consequence."

I enjoyed reading this however I disagree at the use of history in game. The thing is a lot of games like Assassin's creed are to open to interpretation when it comes to the environment and feel. Also the history is deluded by the need to make games fun. Its a bit like 300. Nice to introduce the whole 300 story to the mainstream but the actually story is totally wrong (same with Troy). I think history can be used from a narrative perspective and to create a universe that interweaves with reality. Look at the Assassin's Creed universe. Some key events that actually happened mixed in with myths and fiction. As a tool for back story history works really well. With endings of Assassin's creed it is interesting to read up on history and look it from the AC perspective.

300 was never intended to be a factual representation of the battle. It's a film which is based on a graphic novel which itself is based on the story of the fight. The filmmakers themselves have said they never intended it to be historically accurate, rather they wanted to make it 'cool'. I think that if games were historically accurate then they would be quite boring; the fun element is needed to enhance the enjoyment of the games.

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.
