Team17 CEO Fired Amid Layoffs and Restructuring

UK game developer Team17 is set to undergo significant layoffs, with around 50 roles at risk in its quality assurance department. The CEO, Michael Pattison, is also expected to leave the company. Team17 confirmed the layoffs but stated that its Astragon and Storytoys businesses are unaffected. The company has faced concerns about pay, working conditions, and management failures. Team17's shares have fallen steadily throughout 2023, and last month, the company reported "strong" revenue growth for the first half of the year. This news adds to the ongoing challenges faced by the UK video game industry, with other companies like Creative Assembly and Mediatonic also experiencing layoffs.
