Games Done Quick is getting huge backlash after it canceled its planned sponsorship with SNK following concerns raised by community members. The concerns are because SNK is mostly owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. GDQ said it will not accept any money from the sponsorship and admitted it should have checked the sponsor more carefully. They said it will do better to ensure sponsors match its values on human rights and inclusivity.

Katsuhiro Harada creator of the Tekken series has now founded VS Studio as a new subsidiary of SNK, the company known for fighting games like The King of Fighters. Harada is the head of the studio, which is based in Tokyo. They want to make great games that players will remember for a long time by using the latest tech, giving the team real creative freedom, and working in a relaxed place where new ideas can grow easily. Their motto is "Beyond tradition, crafted to perfection." Harada is now looking for people who love games to join the team. No first game has been announced yet but the studio will start hiring soon.
