Double Fine Productions heeft 23 medewerkers ontslagen, slechts enkele weken nadat het zijn onafhankelijkheid had herwonnen na de afsplitsing van Xbox. De nieuwste ontslagen komen na de ingrijpende herstructurering van de gamingdivisie van Xbox eerder deze maand, die duizenden ontslagen tot gevolg had en waarbij verschillende studio’s van Xbox, waaronder Double Fine, terugkeerden naar een onafhankelijke identiteit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Double Fine is nog een studio die getroffen is door ontslagen na de afsplitsing van Xbox<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In een verklaring op Bluesky<\/a> verklaarde Tim Schafer, oprichter en studiobaas van Double Fine, dat de ontslagen alleen waren aangekondigd voor \u201chet voortbestaan van onze studio\u201d. Het bericht bedankte ook vertrekkende medewerkers voor hun bijdragen en zei dat Double Fine de getroffenen tijdens de overgang zou ondersteunen.<\/p>\n\n\n

Double Fine is de nieuwste naam die zich voegt bij een groeiende lijst ontwikkelaars die in 2026 hun personeelsbestand inkrimpen. Een van die namen is IO Interactive, dat ook personeel schrapte nu ontwikkelaars blijven aanpassen aan stijgende ontwikkelkosten, veranderende prioriteiten en een tragere investeringsomgeving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Een harde realiteit voor onafhankelijke studio’s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

De ontslagannonce van Double Fine is een duidelijk voorbeeld dat onafhankelijkheid een financi\u00eble prijs heeft, ondanks de grotere creatieve vrijheid die het biedt. Voor kleinere teams betekent het gaande houden van projecten soms het nemen van pijnlijke personeelsbeslissingen. Ondanks de ontslagen zei Double Fine dat het zich blijft inzetten voor zijn toekomst, en bedankte het elke getroffen medewerker voor het helpen vormgeven van de games en cultuur van de studio. Dat gezegd hebbende, de studio heeft geen wijzigingen in zijn huidige projecten aangekondigd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
