Is Bioshock 2K's IP? Not sure about that one.

2K Sports, for sure. I am NOT a happy camper about this.
Yeah, I remember hearing that about Rockstar as well. I hope they leave T2 before/if this happens. I can't imagine those guys working under EA.

We'd see GTA 2009 next year, GTA 2010, etc.

Re: EA Proposes to Acquire Take-Two Interactive Software

wait, could the 2K Developers work on the sports games now? could EA can the NBA LIVE Guys and instead use the 2K Sports games? then we would still have a great basketball game...

SO, this will make 2K sports game snot exist in the future, but what does this mean for future GTA games? I don't trust EA to make the next GTA
No where near a monopoly.

It amazes me though how much money EA has... only months ago they dished out $890 million.

No, it's communism. EA acquires all gaming companies, then shares their games with the proletariat consumers. For a small price of course, comrade.

I'm sure it will be a combination staff. Some will be dropped, some will not want to, while others will stay aboard.

I'm fairly certain that Sony makes a ton more money than EA. I don't think that EA would want to get into a bidding war with them over the sole rights to the MLB license. Now, if Sony really wants it is another story.

You know that feeling you get when you play Madden and it sucks? Then you realize it is your only choice. Well, pretty soon all games are going to feel like that.

Sony won't acquire anything because MLB won't restrict their license just to one console.
