  • Angry Birds maker cuts 16% of workforce

    Rovio Entertainment, maker of the mobile device game, plans to eliminate up to 130 jobs, or 16% of the company's workforce, in Finland.The move is part of an effort to "simplify" Rovio's operations and focus on businesses with the most growth potential, such as games, media and consumer products, according to a statement from CEO Mikael Hed.
    Rovio has grown from a video game developer into a diversified entertainment company following the success of its Angry Bird franchise. But the company acknowledged that it expanded too quickly and needs to slim down before it can resume growth.
