The recent Summer Games Done Quick 2026 event may have wrapped up as usual, but a planned post-marathon stream designed to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the beloved Metal Slug franchise was cut short. This abrupt cancellation followed widespread viewer dissatisfaction expressed during the broadcast.
Audience members voiced significant concerns regarding the publisher SNK’s corporate structure, specifically its ties to the Electronic Gaming Development Company, which is owned by Saudi interests. This connection led to the stream being swiftly ended due to the public outcry. This report is based on information initially provided by Eurogamer.net.
