How is ‘pwned’ pronounced?
Keep the ‘p’ silent. Don’t draw that much attention to it.
Say the ‘p’! Loud and proud!

 imho it's pown. one could argue that the p is a silent consonant, but i couldn't fathom a word having one at the beginning without another consonant right after it e.g. tsunami have just thought of a word. disregard.

Actually *pushes up glasses and the reflection shine hides eyes* the Japanese つ (tsu) character pronounces t and s aloud together. Kind of like a little ‘tss’ sound
