Angry Birds maker Rovio plans to cut up to 260 staff

Despite 50m downloads of Angry Birds 2 game, 38% headcount reduction aims to help 'leaner and more agile' company recover from over-expansion

Angry Birds creator Rovio Entertainment is preparing for another round of layoffs, announcing plans for up to 260 redundancies following the departure of 110 staff in late 2014.

The new layoffs will be accompanied by a previously-announced focus on games, media and consumer products, which seemingly spells the end for the company's efforts in the education sector.
