Saudi Arabia has made some big gaming investments.
SNK Corporation, the developer of games like, is now nearly entirely owned by a subsidiary of the Saudi crown prince’s foundation. Electronic Gaming Development Company , which is owned by the Mohammed bin Salman Foundation , holds 96.18 percent of SNK’s shares, according to a February 15th filing on SNK’s website .
This follows “a strategic investment” announced in November 2020, where the MiSK Foundation acquired an “initial” 33.3 percent stake in SNK. At the time, MiSK Foundation indicated it planned to eventually take a 51 percent stake in SNK, but it seems MiSK Foundation decided to buy a much larger stake.
“The Mohammed bin Salman Foundation’s investment in the Japanese company SNK reinforces its continuous commitment to its goals of empowering Saudi men and women through building economic partnerships, within the Foundation’s updated strategy to maximize the positive impact on youth empowerment,” MiSK Foundation said in
. “The investment decision will also enhance SNK’s strong capabilities, which has many innovative intellectual properties in the gaming sector with real potential for development\ [sic] in the future in line with anticipated growth with the electronic gaming industry.”that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund has taken stakes of more than 5 percent in both Capcom and Nexon — stakes that, combined, are worth more than $1 billion. The PIF also invested more than $3.
