SNK caused concern earlier this year when it was revealed that they are now nearly entirely owned by the Electronic Gaming Development Company, which is in turn owned by the MiSK Foundation – or in other words, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammad bin Salman, as some believed some horrid changes might be coming.
In an interview with Famitsu, SNK president Kenji Matsubara addressed concerns that Saudi Arabian influence will be at play with SNK’s games going forward.

Here is Matsubara’s reply when pressed regarding what extent SNK is able to operate on its own terms, especially as the purchase was motivated to bolster Saudi Arabia’s output in video gaming:
On that aspect, we are completely separate. The crown prince, as a shareholder, as the owner of the company, holds the view that business-wise, “SNK should stay as it is”. And as a company, we understood this, planned the course forward with the board of directors, and executed it. This is something that is the same as anywhere, Saudi Arabia or not.
That said, [the prince] is a fan after all, and talks passionately about what aspects make ‘KOF’ so attractive. In that sense, he’s just one of the more extremely passionate fans.
SNK’s latest game is The King of Fighters XV, and more recently, the first new Fatal Fury game in 20 years was announced.
Arab/Islam are anti-gay muricunts. Looking forward how they could they restore humanity.
Good point.
my bad can’t edit the redundant word
Islam is horrible, they will censor female characters even more than feminists ever did.
West is censoring more and brainwashing everyone to become homosexual, making woman ugly looking troon. Soyboy representative and more.
West = Censors anything sexy and loves homos.
Islam = Also censors anything sexy to the point of making their women dress like jawas but they hate homos.
We literally can’t win with either of these groups, neither of them are my ally.
At least your dad is not a faggot who want a peepee inside his ass.
Just because they aren’t degenerate like kikes doesn’t mean they aren’t shitskin low-IQ, incestual third-worlders, you absolutely braindead fuckwit. I know you’re only pretending to be White, but we can restore our nations without the help of foreign customs.
> Looking forward how they could they restore humanity.
Expecting a culture of backwards-ass barbarians to restore humanity is hilarious.
but they are right about women.
By covering them head to toe in a bed sheet?
Imagine putting faith in a religious group to restore order, no pun intended. Remember when Christians had a choke hold on American entertainment in the 80’s and 90’s? It’ll be like that but everyone will be wearing robes and hijabs.
So basically, the only oasis is when neither side is powerful.
Also, OP is a fag
The enemy of your enemy is simply your enemy’s enemy. Nothing less, nothing more.
dropping more bombs in the name of freedom
Shut up faggot.
Down, skin color and size are genetics, you can’t change genetics, being a deviated degenerated is a choose.
Sexal degenerates are in the same level as mythomaniacs, drug addicts and burglars.
Downies don’t typically run around with diseases and intentionally infect others. If they stuck to their own butt-buddies I wouldn’t care. But the maggots don’t. Just ask the little kids & dogs who “mysteriously developed Monkeypox!!!”
I thought you hated Arab/Islam because they’re barbaric terrorists and blow up everything.
it is the correct position as long as the gays are championed by the Communist/Socialists who are trying to end humanity.
if they could shake off the influence of the WEF then maby letting them live and let live would be acceptable.
Funny you would mention WEF, because Mohammad is funding them:
“Abu Dhabi: Saudi Crown Prince, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Prince Mohammed bin Salman participated on Wednesday in a virtual strategic dialogue session of the World Economic Forum, in the presence of more than 160 influential international business leaders and entrepreneurs, representing 28 sectors and 36 countries.
During the dialogue session, the Crown Prince discussed major investment opportunities in the Kingdom, which amount to $6 trillion over the next 10 years, including $3 trillion in new projects, as part of Vision 2030 to unleash the Kingdom’s untapped capabilities and establish new and promising growth sectors.”
You fuckers have no idea how deep the rabbit hole goes. Maybe some of that money goes to destabilize the west to be ripe for the taking by shitskins, chinks and other undesirebles.
yeah sure mohammed lolololololololololol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nah l♥♥i is haram
Wow
A Saudi Prince understand the idea of letting a company conduct business in a way that will ACTUALLY make money. Just the thought of this in today’s world is so sad but admirable that someone wants a company to make money instead of dropping everything they stood for to appeal to a minority that doesn’t fucking care about their product in the first place.
Yeah, and Tencent totally won’t interfere in the products of the companies they own. Please.
Who own by tencent?
Like anyone with power actually keep their word. Even democratically elected leaders fail to abide by their words during their tenure. I’m especially skeptical of a prince of a nation that’s still run by absolute monarchy.
Muslim owners are probably better than Woke owners at this point.
Usually, Muslim owners don’t interfere with what they’re doing outside of their countries. You can just make your products as usual, and make sure that you get it right for the version you’ll sell in Muslim countries.
While Woke owners want your products altered to their liking and apply it to all versions.
Unless the wokes want to sell their s♥♥t in China or the ME. Remember the hidden pride flags in spiderman ps4? Or the non gay tracer for the Chinese version of overwatch?
Money talks, wokeness walks.
Yeah, and I have a bridge to sell you. KOFXV was already toned down from XIV, and the development of that had started before the Saudi ownership.
When I tried KOFXV I couldn’t help but repeatedly think “this is the only big game title with attractive-looking women that I’ve seen in years. There’s no way any of this would be allowed elsewhere”.
Still felt like a shitty game overall though. They fucked up the animation and the bosses are lame as f♥♥k again. I heard they also broke the online.
I miss when KOF/SNK used to be about amazingly brutal and awesome last bosses. Now they just keep pooping out near-T-pose static bosses that shoot projectiles.
At least is not DISNEY or NETFLIX or SONY.
You make it sound like there’s a difference between those three.
I think the diff is clear, disney = all chars become transLgtbroflmaos+….netflix = all chars become niggas….and SONY = all chars become BLACK VOID CENSORED
or china

Throw Square Enix in there while we’re at it too?…
