Manwin Laying Off Lots of People
By MikeSouth
July 30th, 2013
In the past week or so Manwin has cut employees pretty much across all of their properties, Digital Playground lost about half of their production staff with some being replaced by cheaper workers. Any idea that DP will ever do another blockbuster like ?Pirates? is an unlikely scenario, but it isn?t just Digital Playground, they have also laid people off from virtually all of their other properties as well. Playboy in particular stands out. Word on the street is that?s the one that will fall first. Playboy is reportedly fed up withManwin devaluing the brand. Most people involved believe that October 15th will be the end of Playboys run with Sirus/XM Radio when Sirus cancels the contract.

What it looks like here is that Manwin is running out of money and they are trying to hold together a crumbling empire. You haven?t heard so much as a peep from Fabian in months and the power structure at Manwin is being hidden in ways similar to how the Chinese Government worked in the 80s, more on that coming.

I remember Fabian posting how Manwin was stronger than ever and expanding...

I am not even talking about your deductive skills that make you believe that Manwin is firing "lots" of people or that we are in a financials crisis spinning out of control... I realize your intellect is not big enough to actually understand these things... But at least put SOME thought in what you write, or I will lose a fun morning reading source! :/

On the bright side, at least the layoffs will improve the employee to restroom ratio.
Strange Factoid: Fabian was forced out of business before Paul Markham closed his business.
