The rumors are flying. Since word hit that EA may be a more likely candidate for the Eidos buyout, reports have surfaced that Ubisoft is really after the McRae publisher Codemasters. However, Codemasters has denied the rumor. In regards to the Eidos takeover, Ubisoft has been involved in a series of "intense meetings" with the British publisher this past week. Recently, Eidos claimed it did not expect to make an announcement before the end of the fiscal year. Yesterday, there was news that EA had made a bid in the $300 million range. But neither Ubisoft nor EA has issued an official comment as of today.
