what the hell is this about? now that they are putting every semi-popular gaming comic out of business, they are the only ones left. their comics aren't that great in my opinion, they have some good ones once in a great while, but http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com was soo much better. this is terrible news.

[quote="Ctrl+Alt+Del News Page":6a369]Put down the pitchforks, folks. It was a joke. I was just playing along with PA's commentary. The flood of email was incredible. I was surprised to see that so many people thought that such an apprehension of rights as proposed by the Penny Arcade gang was even possible (or legal), not to mention that my reaction to it would have been so passive.

It was a joke, and most of you fell for it. There is no need to send hatemail to Penny Arcade. There is no need to boycott Penny Arcade, or to write your congressmen. Tycho and Gabe are not the devil. We were just joking around. It's sort of what we do for a living.

Your regularly scheduled Winter-een-mas post will be up later this evening.[/quote:6a369]

[quote="Penny Arcades News Page":6a369]Penny Arcade, working out exclusivity deals with (the admittedly dwindling number of) videogame publishers? Are you guys out of your minds?

It may come as a shock to the more rational members of the readership, but we've actually been buried in hate mail today for our quote exclusivity deal unquote. Put aside the fact that such an arrangement would be nearly impossible, not to mention probably illegal.

Do you really think that we would do it? Could do it? I wrote the introduction to Absath's book for Christ sake. I'm a regular Goddamn tyrant. [/quote:6a369]

You ruined it way too quickly..

I thought Penny Arcade sucked...it just never was all too funny, to me, truthfully.

Unless ya'll have been livin' under a rock, they're poking fun at EA. biggrin:

i've never liked penny aracade jokes. I don't think i have ever even smiled at one of them.

Miscguy · 01-26-2005, 11:24 PM

Jesus fucking christ; if you "fell" for that please kill yourself and save me the airfare.

When I first read it, the first though that came to my head was a satire on EA buying out all these gaming companies.

Whoever fell for this needs to develop some common sense.
