Media: Playtika closes Seriously, Best Fiends Developer Studio
The Israeli company only announced the closure of the Seriously office in Helsinki, but according to MobileGamer.biz , she had previously closed an office in Los Angeles.
It is assumed that Playtika could not agree with the management of Seriously about the future of the studio. Allegedly, Seriously wanted to develop new games, but its parent company insisted on the further development of Best Fiends and the addition of aggressive monetization to the game.
Sources of the publication said that almost all employees of the Helsinki office have already quit. Seriously paid them generous compensation and helped with the job search. According to rumors, the former developers are planning to open at least three new studios.
