Penny Arcade Adventures Discontinued

"We pre-emptively apologize for kicking off PAX East with a real downer, but a job’s a job … so here goes: "There won’t be an Episode 3," Penny Arcade’s Mike Krahulik told Joystiq this morning. "We’re actually not making a third episode of the game". Penny Arcade Adventures was originally unveiled at PAX 2007 in Seattle as a four-part episodic series, marking the webcomic duo’s first foray into video game creation, as opposed to video game critique. With the first two episodes following in fairly rapid succession – Episode 1 was released in May 2008 with Episode 2 following just five months later in October 2008 – the prolonged absence of Episode 3 has been notable. Coupled with the news that Episode 2 only earned "one-third the sales of Episode 1," things didn’t look promising for the series."
