Games Done Quick (GDQ), one of the world's largest speedrunning charity organizations, has canceled its newly announced partnership with SNK just hours after revealing the collaboration. The decision came after members of the speedrunning community raised concerns about SNK's ownership, prompting organizers to reverse course on the same day.
The partnership was intended to celebrate the 30th anniversary of "Metal Slug" with a series of special speedruns during Summer Games Done Quick 2026.
