Games Workshop recently announced that it is giving its employees a £2,500 bonus to round out the year. In 2023, where it seems like every week a new story comes out about layoffs or cuts, it’s a relief to see that this time the headlines show something different.
As Dicebreaker reports, this is all thanks to Games Workshop’s plan that gives employees a share of the profits the company makes year after year. In a trading update, Games Workshop revealed that total profits were about £82 million, which was in line with expectations.
There have been many Warhammer video games this year, and while not all of them have achieved the expected goal, there have certainly been a few that have stood out as real winners in their respective genre. Boltgun and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader in particular have won us over in our reviews.
It is important to remember that while this is a good thing for Games Workshop employees, we should not praise the company too much. If 2023 has proven anything, it is that companies can change their tune very quickly.
