In a sad turn of events, Good Job developer Paladin Studios has announced its closure, leading to the layoff of 45 employees. The Dutch indie developer, known for games such as Cut the Rope Remastered and My Tamagotchi Forever, revealed the unfortunate news earlier this week. In a statement on its official website, the studio explained that they had been unable to secure enough work to cover their expenses, leading to their decision to cease operations.
Founded nearly 20 years ago, Paladin Studios has worked with top players in the industry such as Nintendo, Apple Arcade, and Bandai Namco. Despite the closure, the studio reassured fans that its games will continue to exist, and ongoing technical support will be provided.
The unfortunate trend of layoffs in the gaming industry in 2024 continues, with Paladin Studios joining the list of studios that have had to shut down recently. It’s a tough time for those in the industry, and our thoughts go out to the employees affected by this decision.
