Dream Daddy for most people was a big "LOL" moment, because it pushed a ton of games out of the Top 10. Even if you like Dream Daddy (and that's fine), the idea as a Games Journalist that it's objectively better than the following games is insane.
Dream Daddy is the Dive Kick of Virtual Novels. It could best be described as a meme game that was made for the lols, but all the wrong people took it seriously.
Why do they need twenty five people? I'm no expert but aren't their a whole lot of more demanding industries where having twenty five people would be considered way more then adequate for a start up business? Christ the Grumps need to cut off some of their excess staff before they bankrupt themselves.
It feels like a play to make his "company" seem legit. Nevermind what they do, could be done by 10 people or less; then bring on temps or contractors when needed.
Amber - Don't know her, and nothing personal, but you don't need someone on staff to design merch, especially not at the prices they sell their shit at. Find a talented person, shoot off ideas, have them design, go with what you like, pay them for their work, and done. You can even recycle old designs from time to time, for those people who may have missed something the first time around.
Allie - Sorry girl, but a Social Media Manager for a "company" where the stars routinely interact on Twitter/Reddit/Etc, you're dead weight.
Matt/Ryan - If how hard it seems to be to get Arin into the studio to record shit, and how lax the workflow is; fight it out, winner stays (or Arin could help and do some fucking editing himself).
Lettie - A cleaner? Seriously? I'll write you a stellar fucking letter of praise, go put in with the Marriott or Hyatt or something.
Hanna - Producer's are generally seen as people who front money and expect a return... so what do you do?
Brent - Unless you're a pro tard wrangler (and word of Arin's unwillingness to work says otherwise), what do you manage exactly?
Vernon - There hasn't been anything that new or exciting, so, another position that can be temporary/contracted based on what they need at the time.
Stella/Jory/Josh/Leighton/Greg/C.Spike - The game is out, unless there's updates, DLC, or something else, move on. The people actually making the comics, eh, you can stay, for now. Kris can get a pass for being a stream tech, actually doing something useful.
Ike/Tyler - What are you guys writing, and does it really require two of you?
Megan - Who are you attending and for what purpose?
Andreas - Yeah, defend your position.
There, just cut their staff of 25 down to 8. I understand these people may be friends and what-not, but business and business, and when you start sinking, you need to lose weight.
