The majority of the job cuts will take place in Poland, with 89 positions being eliminated, accounting for 21% of the Polish studio's workforce. The company will also restructure its operations in the Netherlands and Finland, with the shutting down of studio but no specific job cut figures for these countries have been provided yet.
The restructuring is part of a strategic shift to focus on social casino games, with a decision to halt new game development and close studios in both countries. The layoffs, part of a global restructuring that will cut 122 jobs globally and reduce the workforce by 28%, will be completed by February 2025. The conditions of the programme were negotiated with employee representatives according to local regulations.
