I think Nazi Germany would be more suitable for a comparsion with EA.

"EA also noted that it had extended said offer to April 18th, 2008"

If EA felt this was a fair offer, they would leave it on the table for the first week that GTA4 hits retail.

As great as GTA may be it's not going to increase the value of the company as much as T2 thinks it will.

This deal is extremely likely to go through regardless. Over half of the shareholders sold their stock with EA's tender offer. At most there will be a 1-2 dollar increase on T2's stock price.

I personally think the deal is perfect for the two. Greed meets greed.

EA is going to destroy video games as we know it. Mario save us all.

Somehow, I don't see the guy re-releasing copies of all his old games becoming a savior. Maybe if he didn't do that AND star in a bunch of crappy licensed mini-games like Mario Tennis, Mario & Sonic at the Olympics, Mario Kart 2008, etc, etc. he would be somewhere on the list of possible saviors.

Unfortunately, that's not the case at all.

Strange, I wasn't aware that Mario Tennis and Mario Kart were mini-games...

Wow its quite scary how desperate EA is...

If they're THAT determined to get it whos to say it won't happen?

I don't want it to happen but a huge corp like that eventually will throw enough money to swade even the most hardcore shareholders...

On another note this is the very first post by Ludwig that I found funny..."in cold blood"...classic.

Still a good post though.

"We continue to believe that our $26.00 per share offer price is full and fair, and that a transaction between Take-Two and EA is the most compelling combination financially, strategically and operationally for all parties."

So, should all parties be editted here to 'EA, exclusively."?

EA is like some flashy gigolo that thinks his penis is an orgasm machine, but is actually a death stick that kills everything it boofoos.

The shareholders need to just read sites like Joystiq and Kotaku to see that the gamers don't want EA owning Take Two. The customers are the ones who will decide if EA's move is a good idea, and it clearly isn't.

Even if every gamer that read Joystiq suddenly stopped buying EA games I doubt it would really effect them.

I'm still buying Spore, because Wright can do whatever he likes, and tells EA to fuck off if they try to suggest things he doesn't want.

As a shareholder of TTWO and a gamer, I'm in a conundrum here. On principle, I don't want EA buying out Take Two, but the stock has been very volatile, historically, and if this deal falls apart it could plummet back to 12 dollars a share, where it was when I bought. Anyone else in this pickle?
