London-based developer is looking at what it needs in the current games landscape.<\/p>\n

The developer of Surgeon Simulator Bossa Studios is making a number of staff redundant.<\/p>\n

As reported by Eurogamer<\/a>, 10 employees are set to be made redundant, down from the 13 that were initially to be cut. This comes as Bossa re-evaluates its priorities as a studio.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe other thing about fundamental change is that not everyone agrees with it, and that\u2019s alright the world would be a much more dull place if we all agreed on everything,\u201d Bossa said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cA small number of people are unhappy with these changes and as unfortunate as that is, there\u2019s little we can do other than be candid about our motives and support them as much as possible. They have the right to feel the way they do about these decisions if so they chose to, and criticise us for it. That\u2019s just the way things work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Studio co-founder Henrique Olifiers said that this wasn\u2019t related to the performance of Surgeon Simulator 2. That title launched in August and failed to have the same kind of impact that its 2013 predecessor did.<\/p>\n

That game launched following crunch at Bossa. Staff worked longer hours for two or three months in the buildup to its release, with the QA team particularly affected. This was, in part, due to staff working remotely because of the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
