Games Done Quick apologizes for partnering with Saudi-owned SNK

Games Done Quick (GDQ) cancelled a sponsored stream with SNK and issued an apology after community members raised concerns about the Japanese studio's ownership ties to Saudi Arabia. SNK is majority owned by a subsidiary of the Misk Foundation, an investment vehicle controlled by Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, who faces ongoing scrutiny over alleged links to the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and human rights abuses. GDQ stated it would not accept the sponsorship funds, pledged to improve its sponsor vetting process, and apologized to runners and hosts whose streams were disrupted.
