Back in August we reported that Rovio, the Finnish studio Angry Birds, announced drastic cuts to their workforce, with 260 redundancies expected at the time (about 38% of employees), after the 100 layoffs the company shed last year. Today, after a long period of negotiation, we learn that the company will cut 213 employees. As we learn from the official press release posted Rovio's official blog:
"Rovio Entertainment will restructure and concentrate its activities around three primary business areas: games, media and consumer products. The negotiations applied to the whole organization, excluding those working on the production of the The Angry Birds Movie in the United States and Canada. The company will actively provide career support for those made redundant as a result of the reorganization."
