So Robert Khoo finally resigned from Penny Arcade after having hinted at doing so for half a decade. This man turned two socially awkward dudes' webcomic into an empire.How long do you think it's going to take for them to run it into the ground without him?
Fast. Deadly fucking fast. I love, or loved, Gabe and Tycho, but it was Khoo who turned their autism into gold. Without him they're going to go to Hell at lightning speed.
I met Khoo once, incidentally. It was about a decade ago, he was traveling through Texas and I met him in Austin. It was fun. He seemed like a nice savvy guy, so I wish him well.

Their softer tone is a symptom of their success. If they weren't as big as they are now, they would probably still be as blatantly offensive as they were once upon a time, but over the last decade or so every time Gabe pisses someone off (which he does a lot) there are actual financial repercussions, people pulling out of their expos, sponsors going apeshit, etc.
The first PAX without Khoo oughta be something.

Their softer tone is a symptom of antipsychotics.

2017's gonna be a fucking disaster for them

Dickwolves was done on the antipsychotics though

I give them 11 minutes

They've already been cutting back hardcore
And they have other staff. I bet Khoo has trained them

Remember the comic edits threads?
I think they're down to averaging like 2 posts a month now.

Granted it was also a maturation on Mike's part. He finally figured out that firing back insults at everyone who questions you isn't cool, it just makes you a jerk (though a funny jerk).

Didn't they accidentally sell the rights to the comic to some guy who fled to Alaska before Khoo came along and got it back for them?
