SNK: Problems won't result in closure

A hot rumor originating from French fighting game site Bas Gros Poing has been circulating that SNK Playmore still stop developing games and instead sell its popular IPs like The King of Fighters to other publishers on a game-by-game bases.

SNK Playmore's official statement has been: "In response to Internet rumors from earlier this week, SNK is planning to release a full slate of games in 2011 and expects to continue publishing games worldwide for many years to come."

GameSpot doubts that SNK will stop development anytime soon, but that there will be internal changes coming to the developer/publisher. SNK Playmore is currently releasing Neo*Geo classic games on the PlayStation Network.
