Our games remain online, and our operations will continue as usual.” Julian Lisenberg, who is the Chief Operation Officer at MetroGames, told Gamasutra that, “We are facing serious financial problems, and have had to make several layoffs this week. The employee claims that the developer is no longer able to actually pay those who work there and that Christmas bonuses were also withheld. One of the designers working at the company, named Facundo Mounes, sent a tip to Gamasutra saying that half of the 80 employees who were working at MetroGames were laid off after a staff meeting about one week ago. Trouble seems to be brewing at MetroGames, a developer of social games which is based in Argentina, with company executives reporting a number of problems with finances, although they insist that the games the company oversees, including the popular Facebook title Coco Girl, will continue to operate.
