Re: EA Proposes to Acquire Take-Two Interactive Software

Voice of Reason: "I would like to state that Take-two turned down that offer, and nothing has actually happened yet. EA's just going public with the offer to put pressure on 2k-"

*Voice of Reason is drowned out by millions of panicking gamers*

Voice of Reason: "Ah, screw it."

Seriously folks, chill out. It's not like this is in the can. T2's not giving up that easily, or they would have accepted that deal.

They could still make a NBA game I thought?? Just NFL (full exclusive) and MLB (3rd party) are under lameass exclusive license. I thought NBA could be made by anyone...therefor the talent behind the 2k game could go to activision and make a new game.

Yeah, okay. I doubt EA would discontinue GTA or Bioshock when their sequels would be huge moneymakers. They acquired Bioware last year, but they are still planning on making sequels to Mass Effect.

You can take the hate of the Patriots, Cowboys, Kobe, West Virginia, and the SEC on these boards and it still doesn't come close to the hate people have for EA.

Good point

Let's see how the shareholders react. I think T2 has stabilized itself after the debacle that was caused by the last CEO. We'll see what happens over the next few days.

Re: EA Proposes to Acquire Take-Two Interactive Software

Wow...this is truly amazing.
I feel my gaming days have been coming to end anyways,this just helps to solidify my decision.
Also...anybody who thinks that this is somehow a "great idea",need to look no further then Madden. How has that franchise been since exclusivity?

I really don't know what to say...so I'll just say wow!!!

I'll wait to see if this actually happens before I say anything more. I have mixed feelings about this proposal.
