I had no idea about this previously myself, but surely reading the top of a potential sponsor's wikipedia page would be part of doing their due diligence, no?

In 2001, due to financial troubles, the original SNK Corporation was forced to close. Anticipating the end of the company, founder Kawasaki established Playmore Corporation, which acquired all of the intellectual property of the SNK Corporation. In 2003, Playmore Corporation was renamed to SNK Playmore Corporation. In 2016, SNK dropped "Playmore" from its name. It has been owned by Electronic Gaming Development Company, a subsidiary of the Saudi Arabian Misk Foundation, since 2022.

like literally all I had to do was google "snk", click the first link, and read two paragraphs. they either didn't look into them at all or did and accepted the sponsor anyway; those are mutually exclusive.
