Games Done Quick Cancels SNK-Sponsored Stream Over Saudi Ownership

Games Done Quick (GDQ) has canceled a sponsored stream with SNK following swift community backlash over the developer's majority ownership by Saudi Arabia's crown prince. The stream, which was set to celebrate SNK's catalog, including the Metal Slug franchise, was pulled partway through after community members raised alarms about the ethical implications of partnering with a Saudi-backed company. GDQ issued a public apology, describing the partnership as "an oversight we deeply regret" and citing human rights concerns as the core reason for the cancellation.
