British studio Bossa Studios reduced a third of its employees

According to Gamesindustry.Biz, British studio Bossa Studios reduced a third of its employees. Sources in the studio named the number of lifted by elated nineteen. The head of the company later confirmed this figure.

Lost jobs mainly belong to the field of quality control and production. In addition, freelance employees were supposedly fired.

Bossa Studios confirmed Gamesindustry.Biz, which reduced the number of her employees to 40 people at the end of 2023.

Enrique Olipiers, one of the founders of Bossa Studios, explained that the dismissal happened after "perfect storm". In particular, after September, many AAA games came out, which hit the AA and Indi market. In addition, they talk about the increase in expenses and a lack of funding.

In short, according to Olifers, the situation is serious, and the studio had to put up with her.

As a result, we had to make a difficult decision to restructure the studio, taking into account the position in which we found ourselves at the end of the year, concentrating all our efforts on Lost Skies. This meant that we found ourselves in a painful situation when we had to fire about a third of the studio employees.

Bossa Studios invited people to share this news to support the fired and give them the opportunity to find a job as soon as possible. Of course, all of them will be high -ranking people.

We often say that creating games is hard, but there is nothing harder than seeing how they fire people that we admire. In the end, we did everything possible so as not to be in this position, and we sincerely regret that it happened.

In short, a long loop of dismissal since 2023 continues in 2024, where the situation can become even more serious and dramatic.

Bossa Studios – a studio standing behind Surgeon Simulator, as well as for I am Fish, I Am Bread and other games well -known on the independent scene.
