Report: Developer GRIN Sees More Layoffs, Potential Studio Closures
Gamasutra has learned from reliable development sources that Stockholm-based developer GRIN has seen significant layoffs, and may be facing difficulty staying afloat.
The news comes after the company saw heavy layoffs earlier this year, no doubt the partial result of weaker-than-expected sales and critical reception to 2009 games like Bionic Commando, Wanted: Weapons of Fate, and Terminator Salvation.
According to a Swedish-language report from IDG this past June — which went seemingly unreported in the English-language press — the company has already closed its Barcelona and Gothenburg offices, events confirmed by Gamasutra sources.
Furthermore, the company’s main Stockholm office may also be in jeopardy. Sources indicated to Gamasutra that employees have apparently been told not to show up for work, and the company may be undergoing some kind of closing or bankruptcy procedure.
