    In light of the recent news on the Ctrl+Alt+Del website, i have decided that Penny Arcade suck. This is becuase they will stop one of my favourite webcomics from telling the jokes in their comic that they want to.

    You do realize this is a joke right? Ctrl+Alt+Delete and Penny Arcade are just having a huge collective laugh at those who believe that stuff. They can't claim the rights for that and they haven't done it either. As far as I know the writers of those comics are friends. :D

    At least you're not the only one. Check out the sites now. Both Penny Arcade and Ctrl-Alt-Del have had to put up disclaimers because of all the mail they've been getting.

    Can someone explain what this is all about to the clueless majority of us? Because nothing I've read here makes it any more clear.

    The thing is that Penny Arcade posted news on their site which stated that they had acquired all rights for making netcomics about videogames. Ctr+Alt+Delete also posted this news on their site. Of course the whole thing was a parody on all these "exclusive rights" for various titles which particullary EA keeps collecting. Now a whole bunch of people have gone and believed this statement and flooded Penny Arcade with hatemail so they and Ctrl+Alt+Delete had to put a disclaimer on their site to reveal that the whole thing was just a joke.

    I hope that clears up the situation a bit.
