Penny Arcade Report To Cease Operations
After two years in operation, the Penny Arcade Report will cease operation. The site was founded as part of webcomic Penny Arcade's larger infrastructure, which includes the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) and the Child's Play Charity.
The news comes by way of a post on the publication's website written by senior editor Ben Kuchera. "The fact that you came around here from time to time to give us a bit of your attention, and hopefully get something out of each story, is an amazing thing for me," Kuchera writes. "You gave me your time, and I hope I gave back something of worth."

Our Take
Our thoughts are with Ben Kuchera and others that worked for the Penny Arcade Report.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
