The recruitment page is under preparation, but an inquiry form is already live.","why_it_matters":"Harada's public redirection of recruitment away from SNK reinforces the structural independence of VS Studio, signaling that the studio operates as a distinct entity rather than a conventional subsidiary.","published_at":"2026-05-19T23:01:00.000Z","source_count":1,"sources":["GameBusiness.jp"],"citations":[{"source":"GameBusiness.jp","title":"Katsuhiro Harada's New SNK Studio 'Guarantees Independence' - Asks Inquiries About Recruitment to Be Directed to the Studio, Not the Parent Company","url":"https://www.gamebusiness.jp/article/2026/05/16/26960.html"}],"license_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","entities":{"anime_titles":[],"manga_titles":[],"studios":["SNK","VS Studio"],"people":["原田勝弘"],"type":"news","domain":"games","is_roundup":false}}}
