Saudi Arabian games company EGDC (largest shareholder: the Crown Prince) becomes largest shareholder (33%) in SNK
- Thread starter Eroke

They have died more times already than me on my Dark Souls playthroughs.
Would the title include an "American" or a "Russian" company?
if the company was owned by a bloodthirsty evil dictator like mbs, yes. people would have the same reaction.
The title didn't include Saudi Arabian company to start. It was crown prince, but then there was some confusion about the article (it turns out it's a company owned 100% by him).
The original title didn't. It said that it was purchased by the Saudi crown prince. It was changed because people thought the title was worded in a confusing way.
The title is weird indeed. The thread used to have a different title with MBS in it. I'm not sure why the new title was approved, because the MBS part is crucial.
What a thing to wake up to.
Just when they were getting back on their feet.
You must have missed when SNK were bought by the Chinese company.
Yes, "Chinese" was all over thread and news titles.

yeah, not sure why the title was changed to leave out the most important part.
I really don't know why there was any confusion after the first page more than confirmed it was 100% MBS' company specifically. The title change came *after* those posts too, making it all the more strange that it was changed.
It doesn't have to be these two, any US politician has their share of war crimes on their back.
At the end of the day Americans actually chose their presidents and are responsible for their actions. Saudis didn't and aren't.
I was laughing at "destabilizing presence" coming from a presumed American.
I don't recall Jeff Bezos imprisoning his family members to secure his corporate power or luring journalists to embassies where said journalists would get hacked up into bits with a bone saw.
That's news to me. Even Najd didn't really make that much of an impact.
Tekken and Smash though are huge in Saudi.
Yeah Tekken is on an another level, but KOF is Super Popular also in the Middle East.
Ya'll know Amazon is a US military contractor now, right? They don't just ship books these days.

This is probably the reason why...
Presuming a lot there, buddy. My parents still have a piece of a scud missile as a souvenir; my father's coworkers gave it to him.
KOF XV's producer recently said in an interview that they were late due to covid, but they'll show footage early next year.
I wouldn't take it personally because it's not about you. There's plenty of serious criticism to have here, like LGBT being a capital crime over there.

Era being era dude, BROWN PEOPLE EVIL! BAD!
Funny how when Tencent acquires studios the threads are usually silent and cute.
I posted that back when the OP made it sound like he'd made a translation error and didn't know for sure if MBS was involved or not, so please don't try and make it sound like I wanted his involvement to be left out.
You're certainly thinking of other forums other than ERA.
The anti-China bias is very strong here.
See, now this is a post which I start to wondering about.
But overall I do think most of this thread has been talking about legitimate concerns regarding Saudi royalty and what they do specifically.
Tencent: The Invisible Investor With More Reach Than You Might Think
There's a lot of discussion of Tencent when it comes to video games on this forum but I feel like most only see a part of the picture. For a least a decade, Tencent has invested in and partnered with multiple video game companies to varying degrees. Most know that they have 40% shares of Epic...

Literally the first result on Google lol
Yeah, and my suggestion for thread title still had MBS in the title. It's like we've swung to the opposite end of the spectrum with the current title, and now it's just plain uninformative.
