Gamers Nexus | How 4 People Destroyed a $250 Million Tech Company @GamersNexus | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 6 days ago.
SUPPORT OUR REPORTING: Buy a coaster pack, solder mat, or more at store.gamersnexus.net
In this report, we close out the story on what's going on at the tech company that sold over $250,000,000 of products in its time in business. The company has been collapsing from within for years now, silently, but grew louder this year as contractors went unpaid. Now, dozens of staff are unpaid and are filing lawsuits against former employer EK Water Blocks (EKWB), which is headquartered in Slovenia and has branches across the world. We piece together what went wrong.

Links to Amazon and Newegg are typically monetized on our channel (affiliate links) and may return a commission of sales to us from the retailer. This is unrelated to the product manufacturer. Any advertisements or sponsorships are disclosed within the video ("this video is brought to you by") and above the fold in the description. We do not ever produce paid content or "sponsored content" (meaning that the content is our idea and is not funded externally aside from whatever ad placement is in the beginning) and we do not ever charge manufacturers for coverage.
