The Turmoil at Dark Horse Continues
News of Dark Horse Digital's shutdown arrives after Dark Horse let go of several staff members earlier this month. "On February 3, Dark Horse made the difficult but necessary decision to reduce staff. After experiencing a period of significant growth, we find ourselves needing to take steps in response to increasing overhead, changing market conditions, and external economic factors," Dark Horse explained in an official statement addressing the layoffs.
The publisher also announced the imminent end of its Things From Another World program. Dark Horse told affiliates it will end the program on April 14. "As we continue to evaluate TFAW's evolving needs, we have decided to wind down the program to focus on new opportunities," Dark Horse stated.
