Tekken 6 preorder CTS outfit

Hi all,

I've been reading PA arcade for a while. One of the things that
attracted me to the comic was how the characters seemed to share
a mutual dislike of Gamestop. However, now I see they're working with
Gamestop for pre-order exclusive content.
I'm still a fan of PA, it just bothers me they'd do this.
To me it seems like they're kinda selling out. Am I wrong about this?
Maybe I just don't know all the information.
Maybe the proceeds are going to charity, and not in their pockets.
Can anyone fill me in on this?

Thank you.

    Doesn't Gabe constantly joke about being annoyed that no one ever asks him to sell out because he'd do it in a heartbeat

    Anyway, I doubt it's a "working with gamestop" thing so much as a "we want a character in Tekken" thing

    Pennies Arcades is teh sell outs man.

    If it was my comic I would have a big advertisement on the front page clearly stating how much of my dignity, soul, and artistic integrity I would sell for how much money. It's called Making A Living.

    They probably just give you a code anyway.

    And you could probably find your own code online somehow.

    And I doubt there is serious money in this for them.

    But even if there was, you pretty much have to remember that Penny Arcade is a business that they run as their actual job.

    I am also going to insinuate in this post that you prefer the company of men. Like some kinda faggot.

    Come on now, it's clearly a collaboration between Pennies Arcade and the people who faked the moon landing as a way to force consumers to buy products from gamestop, which is really a front for Alqaeda. It's all part of Obama's grand scheme to force abortions on christian women for stem cell collection.

    I sell out to an international minerals company everyday to do testing for them in exchange for financial compensation. I'm such a sell out man.

    Oh right I thought the publishers wanted to promote their game by offering an incentive to people who put down money early or something

    Man they've been rolling in the dough for all those so-called "reviews" on the front page and the blatant product placement in the strip.

    They've even gone as far as trying to get some brand attention over the back of a bunch of sick, toy-deprived children.

    Clearly their greed knows no boundaries.

    I need to try using my neti pot again since I had my surgery in December.

    When I tried using it before, there was just nowhere for the water to go because of my enlarged turbinates and deviated septum. It's not like I was doing it wrong, tipping the wrong way or something, causing it to flow back into my throat or mouth or whatever. It's just that the water had no passage to flow through at all. It just didn't go anywhere.
