I used to be with it, then they changed what "it" is

Hemlo, inventor of PWN here.

It was a misspelling of "Owned" in a Warcraft 2 map that I made. People thought it was funny that it upset me when I noticed the typo and perpetuated the map version with the misspelling.

"Player 1 was pwned."

For more Internet history facts, stay tuned.
- Sounds like you got pwned, noob.
  
  I fucking did. The Internet will never let me live it down.
  
  However, it belongs to you all now!
  
  Be free
  
  And get rekt :p
- Thank you for this incredibly interesting yet highly unexpected history lesson. I really enjoy knowing this now.
- ..... I can't tell if you're serious or joking but since it's Lemmy I want to think you're serious and that's pretty fucking cool if it is, bud
  
  Hello fellow pog, it is me, your ancestor :>

- ITS HIM! GET HIM!!!!
- Yeah, pwn was way before epic
- Did Pure Pwnage ever pay you rolalties?
  
  Are you kidding me? No way. You can't trademark a word or a typo. That's dumb.
  
  Jeremy deserves every ounce of his fame from Pure Pwnage
- Would you pronounce it like pawn-ed, or as powned?
