#74.Why Aren't We Talking About SNK's Share Holder, Muhammad Bin Salman?

<p>I'm still struggling to decide where I stand on this topic so I want to start a discussion about it. SNK is a company that's been around for a very long time. In the world of fighting games their one of the legends. I grew up loving SNK games like Metal Slug, Fatal Fury,  and SNK vs Capcom. Prince Muhammad Bin Salman is the current  Minister of Defense of Saudia Arabia (links Below) has done some very questionable things, including the alleged assassination of journal Paul Kyshogi (link below). I recently found out that he recently purchased shares of SNK and hopes to gain a majority.</p> <p> </p> <p>I'm still learning about who Muhammad Bin Salman is. I don't want to be too hasty in making a clear-cut choice on where I stand with his acquisition. That said, currently, I don't feel too great about it and I hope that changes. This is a topic I plan to revisit in the future as I learn more about both SNK and MBS.</p> <p> </p> <p>For now, here's my conversation with Soleil (So-lay), sharing our thoughts on the topic of SNK and the future majority shareholder, Prince Muhamad Bin Salman. I hope you guys enjoy and share your thoughts in the comment section or reach out to me on Twitter or discord!</p> <p> </p> <p>Best regards,</p> <p> </p> <p>Philocypher</p> <p> </p> <p>Timestamps</p> <p>00:00 - Start</p> <p>06:23 - Getting to know the guest Soliel</p> <p>15:36: MBS and his relationship with SNK</p> <p>15:59 - Concerns about the "buyout"</p> <p>17:21- Why should we care about MBS?</p> <p>21:15 - Assassination of Journalist Jamal Kishogi</p> <p>31:44 - Gamers having Stockholm syndrome to publishers/developers</p> <p>32:25 - Addiction or ignorance: Do gamers not care or don't know?</p> <p>36:34 - How do what actions we take affect the individuals that makeup SNK? </p> <p>00:47:41:23 - Fighting Game developers and bad net code</p> <p>47:41 - Closing Remarks</p> <p> </p> <p>Sources</p> <p>Who is Muhamad Bin Salman?</p> <ul><li>Wiki - <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wik
