Det er sjeldent jeg blir sjokka for tida. Men dette tilfellet av total idioti helt utrolig
Det hele begynner med at Penny Arcade poster denne stripa (som selvfølgelig omhandler EAs monopolistiske atferd i det siste):
Hvorpå Absath hos Ctrl+Alt+Del poster følgende på siden sin:
Deretter eksploderer det på C+A+D forumet med poster som denne:
CAD Forum tråden
Det hele resulterer i at Penny Arcade får haugevis med Hat-mail fra tomskaller som tror at PA har enerett på Web-striper om spillbransjen
Her ser dere hva kollektiv mangel på ironi-antenner kan føre til. Sinnsykt morsomt opplegg! :ler: La oss håpe at folk på dette forumet har mer mellom øra enn på CAD forumet

Well, my lawyers have just received a notice from the legal representation for Penny Arcade. Turns out they've filed for the "rights in perpetuity to any and all humorous comic interpretations and/or situations arising or inferred from the electronic entertainment industry and/or the products thereof."
Basically translated from "lawyerese", this means that from here on out, Penny Arcade will be the only licensed purveyor of video game humor.
Obviously this comes as quite a blow to Ctrl+Alt+Del, as we here have made our living based off of poking fun at electronic media in all of its forms. Unfortunately the law is the law, and even us independant webcomic artists have to follow it.
Rather than go quietly into the night, I'd like to announce a change of direction for Ctrl+Alt+Del, whereby I plan to take webcomics where they have never gone before. From now on, CAD will focus around two roommates and their love of curtain rods, and the many wacky adventures that ensue. I think you will all enjoy this new turn of events, and I hope you will all stick around to watch it unfold.

i know i just read it. This is really bad. Does this mean that there will not be any reference to games at all? and who made this law thing? Although it could be an intrestng turn in the comic as tim said. only time will tell

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.
