While being used as a primary news source for Japanese Games, Famitsu's editorial content, and expecially their review scores, have been target of costant mudslinging from a part of the gaming press, that accuses the Japanese weekly magazine of being biased and of giving scores according to advertisement deals.
With the 40/40 score given to Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, this argument has reared his ugly head again.
But is this "holier than thou" attitude justified? The gaming press as a whole lives on advertisement deals, favors, giveaways, exclusive covers and previews, including the publications that criticize Famitsu.

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.
Journalistic suicide to slate another publication publicly. I get their point though, that's why I never go with scores, better to try the game yourself.
please dont use "Bayonetta" as a source by which to discredit this magazines legitamacy. the boys over at platinum games deserved every one of those 40 points for this strikingly creative and original, enthralling action adventure masterpiece. the topic is the magazine and its reviews, not the games themselves. (in question)
Kotaku are a joke, no real gamer takes them seriously as everyone knows they take every opportunity to have a dig at Sony even through a third party like Famitsu. This has been going on every since they fell out with Sony over leaking news about Playstation HOME. Kotaku lost any credibility they might have had with gamers years ago so its a bit late to be slinging mud now.
Great READ!
