Guildford racing specialist Criterion Games has shrunk its workforce to less than twenty people, but the studio’s creative director Alex Ward insists the downsizing was requested.
Ward addressed the new direction for Criterion with a series of messages sent to fans across Twitter.
“Criterion is just 17 people these days,” he said in one message, and another claimed “we would rather work a small team all focused on gameplay rather than a huge team split by discipline”.
