It's a video series about gamers. Now they pronounce it just as if it was spelled "Owned". Not to say that is definitive proof, as I've personally heard it both way (been a gamer for a lil while.)

I've been pretty active in the sub-culture of the internet since it's inception. I was an IRC kiddy back before the interweb got it's legs and have seen the growth of all these slang terms over time, especially over the last few years as more and more people spend time socializing online and catch onto the various terms.
It's true that most of the current slang terms have spawned from games but the real origins of "leet speak" date all the way back to bulletin boards, when ASCII was one of the few creative outlets.
