PBLOG Group

PBLOG Group is a mass media and information technology company that is the owner of ATBW Blog and PBLOG. It was formed on April 20, 2022 by Takash Puterr after he made his decision to spin off PBLOG and ATBW Blog in response to the ATBW Antitrust Lawsuit. The company owns PBLOG, as well as ATBW Blog and the 11 companies that it owns as well as their intellectual properties including movies once distributed by ATBW Pictures. All ATBW Blog films and TV shows ever produced are now fully owned and controlled by PBLOG Group, but they will remain on ATBW+ to continue profiting it.

History
Takash Puterr had talked about migrating ATBW Blog and PBLOG under a separate company after his announcement of moving ATBW Store and Zippy Land to another separate company Zippy Holdings LLC, which was founded two months prior to PBLOG Group. It was approved and both ATBW Blog and PBLOG, along with the ATBW Blog companies owned by the former at the time were moved to PBLOG Group. However, a CEO was not chosen, though the company had its own board of directors who managed the company on their own.

On October 7, 2022, Bob Blessen was chosen by the board as the CEO of the company. Since then, PBLOG Group has rapidly expanded the company's enterprise by getting into the IT industry and begin manufacturing electronics. The company began supporting Bitmoji for its games, allowing users with snapchat accounts to play certain games using their bitmoji avatars. However, this is limited to PBLOG Premium users only. The company also started getting into the film industry launching PBLOG Pictures and PBLOG Television, which are in charge of distributing independent films made on PBLOG or are based on PBLOG franchises or properties. Additionally, the company also began making electronics to support online games, and they have started making laptops for gaming with THX sound built in.

Starting January 3, 2023, all PBLOG users who also have an ATBW Blog account and vice versa can now use both accounts interchangeably. The join date on ATBW Blog and PBLOG are seen on the users about section on both sites, and users now must have a PBLOG account to comment on ATBW Blog content. Moreover, users can now choose to upload the same submission on both platforms of their choosing, as well as select any PBLOG site (or subsite of it has one) to upload onto. This follows Meta's new feature which allows users to upload the same post on more than one platform.

Controversies
On August 30, 2022, PBLOG Group added new centralized rules to PBLOG requiring all PBLOG sites to follow them or risk being deleted. Many users have spoken out against because they also targeted the twelve ATBW Blog companies owned by PBLOG Group. A protest started in response to the new rules, but PBLOG Group retaliated by banning users for judging staff decisions, which is a violation of a new rule added. PBLOG Group temporarily restricted unverified account's ability to comment in response and a new rule requiring users to be 16 years old to use the central forum was added. However, it is now prohibited to mention anything in regard to the new rules or the protests that it caused, both on PBLOG and ATBW Blog.
