Starting an Online Business in PA

I want to start an online indie game company. I intend to start a brick and mortar later
on in Pennsylvania and manage other legal stuff. Until I change the business to a brick
and mortar, the company will only be producing mobile apps. The issue is I’m not
planning to move to Pennsylvania anytime soon, but I would like to start my business
now. I currently live in NY, can I legally set up an LLC in Pennsylvania without having to
set up an LLC in NY? I already have a registered agent service in mind. I personally
don’t see a reason to set up in NY if I’m not planning on creating a brick and mortar
there.

Yes, you can form and register your LLC in PA: you can form an LLC in any state you wish, and do not need to have a physical presence there. Since you anticipate later having a location in PA, it makes sense to form the LLC there.
