The maker of the Angry Birds mobile games may reduce as many as 35 jobs, almost 10 percent of the total, as it restructures its animation business as part of an attempt to revive growth.
Rovio Entertainment Oy said it’s making operational changes at its studio that makes cartoons, and that its production of games or movies won’t be affected. The potential job cuts may impact an animation unit in Finland, as well as other company functions, spokeswoman Kaisu Karvala said Wednesday.
