Certain Affinity expands studio in Toronto in spite of downturn

Certain Affinity, a game development company that has partnered to make games like Call of Duty and Halo, made a commitment to Canada when it expanded from Austin, Texas to Toronto in 2019.

And now it is expanding its Toronto team in a new location in the city’s downtown, said Paul Sams, COO of Certain Affinity in an interview with GamesBeat. It’s a rare case of a company that is still hiring in the midst of the downturn. In fact, Certain Affinity has gone 16 years without a layoff.
