It's always questionable to follow up a rumor with a rumor; but we manage to do just fine around here, don't we? The rumor that Ubisoft was going to waltz in and buy out Eidos is now losing favor amongst those of us who live by innuendo. Apparently, the asking price was beginning to fly sky high for the funniest reason of them all — too many hands in the pot. Here's a snag from the Voodoo Extreme snag. "It is thought that the projected value of Eidos has been artificially escalated as a result of so many interested parties engaging in negotiations. Ubisoft's offer of $215 million apparently attaches an excessive 40% premium to Eidos' real value, and this could easily threaten shareholders' confidence in the plan." Sounds like the glory days on the Internet boom. Luckily it looks like the fine folks at both companies are wise enough to know a bad deal when they see it. We would like to throw Joystiq's hat in the ring. We can pay 25 bucks for the company. Take it or leave it. Oh yeah, scroll down to see the story.
