The company revealed in August that they planned to consult with up to 75 employees for redundancy. Frank Tindle, a veteran at Supermassive Games, posted on LinkedIn that after sixteen years, his last day was confirmed.
Tindle served as the IT department and joined the senior leadership team, praising the studio's people throughout his tenure. He is not the only one leaving, as over 70 brilliant individuals, including developers, artists, producers, QA, and operations, are departing Supermassive. Tim Browning, Supermassive's talent acquisition leader, also announced his departure, expressing pride in the studio's growth and achievements.
Directive 8020, Supermassive's latest game, was released in May, receiving mixed reviews. The studio recently announced plans to add online multiplayer to the game.
