It is good that you created a new topic because the original one was closed.
I have stopped caring about anything Penny Arcade does, or anyone associated with it, for years. I am actually kind of done with “gamer” culture in general. As much as I love videogames (since the early 80s, and I have an original copy of Electronic Games mag #1 to prove it), I have concluded the culture around videogames will always be infantile and at best pretentious. It is a dead end road.
