Job hopes despite PopCap losses
The co-founder of Seattle-based PopCap — which is behind popular titles such as Plants vs Zombies and Bejeweled — said on Tuesday that a reorganisation of the company would include “a reduction in force” in its North American operations and an “exploratory consultation” with its Dublin operation, “to evaluate” the future of its Irish-based business.
The online gaming sector is one of the modern technology industries on which the Government is pinning much of its employment growth hope, and it is targeting another 2,500 jobs coming from the sector by 2014.
