" Now that Blu-Ray has won the format war against HD-DVD, it's main competitor will be DVD itself. DVDs came into our lives around 1997 making them "old" in the technology world. Before DVDs, there were VHS tapes but the conversion didn't take place overnight. It's going to be similar when it comes from moving to Blu-Ray from DVD."
"When DVDs hit store shelves in the last couple years of the 20th century, VHS tapes did not disappear overnight. There was a gradual shift away from the aging analog tapes to the new awesome (high-def for the time) digital format."

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.
I think this conversion is going to take a lot longer than the tape to DVD conversion did.
but this will be a very long battle.
Actually, its Digital Downloads vs. Blu-ray.
CD 700mb is the best !! lol
i don't know man.
i personally see DVD having long legs. wether as long as VHS' reign was is to be seen.
but its far more convient than VHS while still being simple.
and thats what the general public wants, simplicity. why do you think windows has bigger penetration than linux?
its like buying a car. windows is a semi-steep car that you buy at the car dealer and drive it home. linux you gotta build a car from scratch.
