Yesterday I wrote an article about how SNK Playmore was closing its US doors down while Ignition US would handle distribution of the company’s game. It looked like people would lose jobs, not least Ben Herman, president of SNK Playmore US. It’s not every day I get a nice personal tip like this, so I […]
