Digital Playground in trouble? I don't know if many of you are fans of the movies DP puts out but if you are then I may have some bad news for you. Two of their big contract stars have both annouced that they are retiring from porn. Bibi Jones did it two days ago and then Riley Steele did it yesterday. Both have mentiuoned that they are disatisfied with the way Dp has handled their career in recent time. In case some of you aren't aware. DP was bought by Manwin which is the parent company of Brazzer. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Hi yeah I really like these two girls, very hot, why do they have to retire though why can't they now quit Digital Playground but start filming for other studios. Looking at their website too, must be one of the stingiest previews I've seen, every click take you to a payment page, you can hardly see if you want to join a site without showing the customer a little of what you can expect. Some sites still don't get this. "Women are like tricks by sleight of hand, Which, to admire, we should not understand." WILLIAM CONGREVE Edited on Jul 20, 2012, 08:06am | |

Actually, the word is that Riley Steele did her video the day after Bibi's to make fun of Bibi. Riley has not quit, according to DP. Bibi, on the other hand, quit 2 days before she was supposed to feature dance at my fave local strip club. And even though she was posting smiling laughing pics of herself on Twitter at her pool in AZ yesterday afternoon, she didn't even call the club to tell them that she wasn't going to show, even though she had talked to them the previous Friday and nailed down the final details, like the hotel they booked for her. That's pretty lame. I can understand that she had an emotional breakdown when she quit, but to not have the professionalism to even make phone calls to people you made commitments to a few days before after you're over the whole emotional whirlpool is just BS. | |

^I think both Bibi and Riley have some issues and these may be drug and alcohol related. I know that Riley said that her quitting was all a joke but I don't know if I believe her. Maybe she has that kind of sense of humour but it's also possible that she was a under the influence of drugs and alcohol when she made video and then changed her mind once her agent contacted her. I don't think it really matters anyway because I'm pretty sure that DP is going to drop their contract performers in the weeks and months ahead. Porn is not a great place to make money these days and the fact that DP sold to manwin probably means that they were either starting to lose money or had been for a while and the offer Manwin made was too good to pass up. Knowing how manwin operates then I can't see them buying a company that is losing money unless they were pretty certain that they could make a lot of money out of it. The first thing they needed to do is get rid of contract performers because that is probably your biggest expanse the one that you don't need anymore. Paying a girl to only shoot about half a dozen b/g and g/g scenes per year is not a good business decision. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Talking about contract players. I wish Wicked let Jessica Drake go! Not because she is terrible or anything but because she is in every darn movie TMN** puts on at night! ** The Movie Network (Canadian) | |

This is a pet peeve of mine. I always wonder what a site has to hide when I can't get a decent look at what they have to offer. | |

^It's not much of an issue for me because my rule of thumb is that if a site does not show what's to begin with or the content is not worth the join price. I'm sure there are exception to that rule but I'd rather regret joining a site and save money than regret joining a site and lose money. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I agree. You've got to have confidence that your product will sell itself. | |

I didn't know the DP was bought out. DP has some hot titles (teachers, nurses) and some good talent (Stoya, Raven Alexis) I hope Brazzers doesn't screw it up. Not hating on Brazzers they just don't have much that excites me. | |
