FYI, SNK is owned by Mohammed bin Salman.

I think I'll pass giving them a single cent.

Probably why Ronaldo and Salvatore Gannaci were DLC in the new KOF game. There was a pretty audible collective groan from the fighting game community when that was announced.

I hadn't heard this, but looks like you are right.

Makes me feel a little conflicted having bought one of those SNK bundles a couple years ago on Steam or Humble Bundle or something. Don't love the idea of giving money to someone like that.

That's a shame, I've always had a thing for Neo-Geo and SNK games.

He won't get a cent when I play on my MVS carts on actual hardware, so there is that.

I hate that we are in the era of Millennial dictators feeling the need to own things that they thought were cool when they were kids. I don't see how owning SNK could be considered a great investment opportunity.
