Friday 13: Game and predators: The developers of the Illfonic area have announced that they have fired an unknown number of employees when they “rearrange” into a sophisticated strategy “. There is no reason for the dismissal made in the statement, beyond a confusing gesture for the “situation of the industry”.
“Today we had to accept the harsh reality that the industry’s situation has affected us here in Illfonic,” said the CEO and co -founder Charles Brunghardt written on Linkedin. “It is with the most heavy hearts that our teams must be done today when we link to a sophisticated strategy. There are many talents in this group and if you or your team are recruiting, please approach so that everyone can connect to an open role.”
The notice of no confirmation has been affected, but Illfonic has an office in Colorado, Washington and Texas, USA. The company hired 78 people in 2019, although this was before establishing the Texas office.
When Matt Wales commented in EuroGamer, it could be fired related to the expiry of the license for Friday, forcing Illfonic and Gun Media publisher to drag the video game adaptation from Sales in December last year. The most symmetrical horror games of the studio recently, Ghostbuster: Spirits Unleashed and Killer Klowns from the Outer Space: The Game, seemingly not partially found, according to the latest steam activity rankings.
Illfonic has high hope for Killer Klowns, although there is a relative obscure of the license, considering it as a game of people more than Friday 13. NIC in May. “We have found it [our previous games]Fans do not play video games but love IP will appear. With Klowns, this is an opportunity to bring ‘Evade and Escape’ vs that has that fastidious shooting mentality. I think we had a really good balance. “
I do not know the new recruitment rate for firing in 2024, but it is certainly a “harsh” year for losing jobs. According to an unofficial follower, about 14,000 people lost their jobs this year, increasing from 10,500 by 2023. Yesterday, Ubisoft said goodbye to about 277 people in the process of “Sunseting” Xdefiant, their direct service shooting game. Brendy held an unofficial list of terrible Uyen Language companies used to sweeten the fired drugs in their official statements. For my money, the most weird people are definitely the “rationality” of two others who go to the livelihood of hundreds of employees. But the “fine -tuning” your workforce is also quite obnoxious, with its suggestion about purifying impurities during metallurgy.
Good luck to all Illfonic developers, who are currently looking for a job.
