Following this the number of employed in the group will be decreased by ca 50 %.
"The tough times in the game industry remain and it has taken longer time than expected to achieve the additional business needed to keep all our teams working on externally financed projects. Because of this, we are lowering the costs additionally to adjust to the sales status and to remain in a good position for our upcoming 2025 game releases. Tableflip had a significant negative impact on the cash flow in 2024 and we have thus agreed to part ways. It is always sad to have to depart from engaged and skilled co-workers and I especially want to thank Don Geyer and Håkan Mattsson for their contributions to the Company over the years. Given the state of the market, with significant downsizing across the industry, we will be able to scale back the business quickly on the back of new larger contracts," says Harald Riegler, CEO Jumpgate AB.
