The ongoing drama of who's eating who between mega publishers Electronic Arts and Take-Two has finally been taken behind the curtain, where it should have been all along. After coming to some measure of understanding, the companies have jointly signed a confidentiality agreement, agreeing not to blab about what may or may not happen as a result of ongoing talks until, you know, something actually happens.
According to Reuters, EA has agreed as part of a regulatory filing with the SEC to not "make any further announcements regarding the status of any discussions or negotiations with Take-Two" until the pair come to some sort of mutual accord. We couldn't be happier, knowing that while the drama will likely continue to unfold for quite some time, at least we won't have to read (or write!) about it.

It must've been tough for you guys to have a gun pointed at you forcing you to write about this story over and over again. I can personally say that the guy with the AK-47 who made me read every story was very rude, constantly jabbing me in the back of the head with the barrel of his gun if I tried to skip one of these posts to read about Braid instead.

I cared about this 3 months ago, I'm just tired of this, that's a good strategy from EA just like Bush with the war.

I'm going to go ahead and defend my Doppleganger here from the baseless name calling. The smart ass comment was meant in regards to the idea that nobody can speak for a group as diverse as gamers. I probably should have expanded upon the idea of my post, but all sorts of weirdness happened with it...like the missing avatar. I actually meant not to post it.
Anyway, since you have such strong feelings about it, perhaps you would like to share some of them, and perhaps explain which part of me not agreeing with your opinion makes me a turd? Do you even understand any of what's actually going on with the scenario between EA and Take Two, or are you just another gamer who just blindly espouses their hatred of EA because that's what the rest of the herd does?
