Boycott the city of the wolves


SNK once stood at a crossroads filled with promise. They listened to fan feedback, refining their visual presentation, implementing rollback netcode and crossplay, and addressing the issues that plagued their first beta. With the growing disillusionment surrounding Street Fighter 6 and Tekken, SNK was perfectly poised to seize the moment—perhaps even to break beyond their traditional fanbase and reignite broader interest. For once, everything seemed aligned in their favor.
And yet, in a bitter twist of fate, their greatest obstacle was not external—it was themselves. The same self-destructive tendencies that once drove them to bankruptcy have resurfaced. It’s disheartening to witness a company with such a rich and innovative legacy choose profit over principle. Rather than honoring their intellectual properties, they’ve commodified them, reducing beloved franchises to hollow cash grabs, expecting loyal fans to foot the bill.
This is not the SNK we once revered. It is a distortion—an insult to their history and to the community that has supported them through decades. For those who still believe in what SNK once represented, I urge you: speak out, and do not support this release. Let integrity, not nostalgia, guide our choices.
To SNK: shame on you. May you fade from the industry rather than continue to tarnish the legacy you once so proudly built.
