The developer and publisher behind the popular SteamWorld series, Thunderful, has announced a restructuring program that will result in a number of layoffs within the company. Unfortunately for all those involved, this is the second occurrence of such an event within a year. Thunderful Group, a Swedish video game company founded in December 2019, is responsible for releasing titles like SteamWorld Heist 2, The Gunk, and Lost in Random.

    

The gaming industry as a whole has struggled with constant layoffs throughout 2024, and nobody seems to be immune. Microsoft announced job cuts within its Xbox gaming division in September 2024. The original Life is Strange studio, Don't Nod, was hit with layoffs in October 2024. Companies big and small have been forced to adjust the size of their workforce in an effort to keep the doors open. Some developers, like Concord's Firewalk Studios, have been shuttered entirely.
