Some significant changes afoot at social and mobile games company Digital Chocolate: founder Trip Hawkins has stepped down as the CEO of the company. And we have also heard a report -- yet to be confirmed directly by the company -- that president Marc Metis has stepped up as interim CEO; and that Digital Chocolate has laid off up to 180 people across offices in India, San Mateo, Russia and elsewhere.Hawkins' news was made public by Trip himself in his company blog, where he notes that he is "transitioning into a consulting and advisory relationship with Digital Chocolate." Without giving away much about the state of affairs at the company, the move, he writes, is being made as the company is "narrowing its focus.""It made sense to get more streamlined," he explains. Hawkins founded the company eight years ago.
