Goddammit, it's too early in the morning to deal with retards
>>341249048
I always thought Bald and Pig-like were always in charge of everything
finally those pathetic decrepit mongrels will fall from their high horses and down into obscurity and death. shame about pax though, but someone will fill the void. it's not 2000 anymore, webcomics = boring. if it's not memes, it's not dreams. if it's dinglehopping, go dildo shopping. gasping
>>341249048
What are the odds that they bought their freedom back?
>>341249241
4chan should start its own gaming convention
>>341249348
I'd be down with that so long as we keep the /pol/tards out.
What did he mean by this?
>>341249196
>>341249348
If the /v/gas are anything to go by, I'd rather not.

>>341249048

>>341249048

Fuck off
Why the fuck does a stupid Web comic with offendingly terrible art need a company?
>>341251950
You have no idea how big PA is
>>341251950
Because they own more than the stupid web comic with offendingly terrible art. It's a whole enterprise they've got going.
>>341252092
Why is it big? What exactly do they provide or produce besides terrible Web comics? Why are they important enough to have multiple conventions? What do they DO?
>>341252282
Are you retarded? They do the conventions. The comic is just an afterthought now.
>>341249197
nah, they got their friend khoo to handle all the business stuff
>>341252282
>>341252397
Not to mention multi-million dollar charities.
>>341252604
they also had a reality show
how the fuck did penny arcade get so big to do that?
>>341252282
How old are you?
PA has existed since the 90s.
If penny arcade was a person, it would be allowed to post here.
It was one of the first webcomics, one of the first video game webomics.
It was the most popular one.
Over time, a fan like Khoo approached them and realized that they didn't really know what they were doing, and decided to become their manager.
That's when they started selling merchandies, and he made their webcomic into an empire.
They make webcomics, gabe draws for various things, they make short stories.
They have a large charity for kids in hospitals.
They have Pax a very large video game convention several times a year over several places in the world.
They've made video games too.

Robert resigned a little while ago. I know I don’t have to worry about him, he’ll be okay. I’m not super okay right now! Crying at work is not the goal. Me and him are tight, though. But I do wonder whose life he will change next.
I didn’t really understand what Mike and I were making with Penny Arcade, at first. Robert understood it. In many ways, he understood it first. He taught us so much. We know what we want to be when we grow up, now, and it’s this. My goal now, and going forward, is to make him proud.

Because: >>341249048
>>341252678
They invested the webcomic money they had - or got someone to invest it for them - they didn't just blow it or sit on it.
Holy shit, he's leaving? That's the end of PA because he is literally the man that made everything. I wonder how Pig and Bald are gonna handle things now, seeing as they have 0 business skills. Will their charity fall? Merch dying? Expo emptying?
>>341253178
They might hire someone else though.
>>341249048
Literally Khoo?
I guess he was too khoo for penny arcade
But who's going to feed them pills now?
>>341253178
>thinking you need skills to run a business
Idiot. All you need is a good product, which they do.
this guy literally asian bobby kotick? PA is done.
