At the Penny Arcade panel at San Diego Comic Con, Mike Krahulik - better known as his comic book counterpart “Gabe” among fans - revealed that the company was “aggressively exploring a third PAX” in Austin, TX.
The chief reason, of course, is that Austin is a hotbed of videogame development in the United States.
The other two fan conventions, PAX Prime in Seattle, WA and PAX East in Boston, MA have been wildly successful for Penny Arcade, chiefly because until most conferences of its kind, it’s completely open to the public, albeit with a fee.
