Nintendo-commissioned Bandai Namco project cancelled
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
According to a report from Bloomberg, Bandai Namco is cutting back on its workforce, which also ties into Nintendo.
The outlet reports that “lackluster demand” has caused the company to cancel several games and scale back on its employee count. Bandai Namco also adopted a common Japanese approach to reducing staff known as oidashi beya, which involves having workers sit in rooms where they’re given nothing to do to encourage them to leave voluntarily. When that happens, many take that time to search for other jobs. Bloomberg notes that 200 or so of its 1,300 staffers have been in these rooms and close to 100 have resigned. Even more could be departing in the months ahead.
