Penny Arcade Game Sees Record Breaking Numbers

Kotaku is reporting that the new Penny Arcade game is showing record breaking numbers, earning $330,000 in the first three days, surpassing previous record holder Worms HD. Penny Arcade's Mike Krahulik was very pleased with the result saying: "Given that our price point was double the other games on that list I'm pretty f***ing happy. We fully expected some people to complain about the $20 price tag but we honestly felt like our game was worth it. Pricing something like this is tricky. Obviously you have to look at the length of time it will take someone to complete the game but you also need to factor in the quality of the experience."

If you're thinking about the PC version: DRM

Just a heads up; if you're thinking about buying the PC version, it has an online activation based copy protection system, with a three activation limit, same as BioShock.

Seems a bit hypocritical coming from the PA guys, but just be aware it's there before you decide to spend your cash on it. I, for one, will sadly have to miss this one.

Perhaps I Didn't Get the Memo...

I played the PC demo and found this title to be pretty horrid. The gameplay was about as bland and uninteresting as one could possibly get, whilst the ever-so-acclaimed writing seemed rushed and generally unamusing. I like to read Penny Arcade occasionally, it's usually good stuff, but this game is a stinker from what I saw.

You'd think that guy who spend their time making fun of bad games would manage to not make one themselves.
