EA's third deadline in Take-Two takeover passes tonight
In a few hours, the third deadline in Electronic Arts' takeover bid for Take-Two Interactive will pass. GamePolitics has a pretty good roundup of speculation stories regarding the deal; meanwhile, we've also heard from Forbes and go-to analyst guru Michael Pachter on the situation.
Take-Two reported that EA only controlled 8% of the company's stock following the last deadline. We expect a press release from EA bright and early tomorrow morning about its next move and a response from Take-Two a little thereafter.

Don't worry Niko is engaged in some "aggressive negotiations".
Hands off, EA!

When will EA get the message?

"Its alright cousin, call me when you have free time"

Back off EA. Nobody wants to play your little reindeer games.

Why do they even want Take Two? Aren't they pretty much a bomb when they arent selligng GTA?
Tigre @ Jun 17th 2008 12:52AM
I'm pretty sure EA doesn't want TT just for GTA. They want 2k too and if they manage to get their hands on 2k then EA would be a dominate force in the sports category.

EA, take a look behind you.
Yes, that is the door, and it's waiting for you to walk through it and get out of here.

can joystiq legally alter EA's logo like that since they make profit from advertising?

Surely the shareholders know by now they can just wait it out to get another extension / better offer.
