Take Two's response. (http://gamepolitics.com/2008/02/24/breaking-take-two-fires-back-at-ea/)


So apparently EA wants to ruin another good company. I'm surprised, really.

whats next EA attempts to buy nintendo so they can make a crappy Mario basketball game?...oh wait!

I'm pretty sure T2 refuesd

I'm pretty sure T2 refuesd

for now they said they would talk about it after GTA4 is released.

That is not a good sign

^^^^^^

I agree if the monster keeps going its gonna be bad, though at least the ps2 won't ever run out of games.

If T2 says yes, we're doomed...

i hope take two doesn't turn to the dark side

All that needs to happen now is for EA to hook up with Walmart. Then we can get food, clothing, medicine, and crappy generic titles all at rollback prices!

Im praying this doesnt happen, but NOT for the same reason! If EA ruins T2, well then T2's developers could move on and make a new studio... their names are out there, could well be placed into any review, and any publisher that backed them would make sure their trails were known.

No, I dont want to see it, because I dont want to see a team who had to recycle the story when they made Bioshock writing a continuation to System Shock 2.... we dont need Shock 3 to be Shock 2 Special Enhanced edition.

Lets hope this doesn't happen,can you imagine what a GTA game made by EA would be like.

It's every gamers worst nightmare.

I'm scared for what that future might hold.
I hope T2 takes there time with that deal.

I was looking at yahoo finance, and since feb 11th, T2 stocks almost doubled in value to just about what EA was offering. To bad I was not in the know for this stock trade

I hope this doesnt Happen. I've been a bigger fan of 2K (which own T2) than EA. EA is similar to nintendo in ways. but if this happens the sports video game genre will be just roster updates and broken hearts of 2k game fans. i am one but NHL 08 was the only time i liked EA's sporting game. all others is 2K but if it does happen, maybe EA will use 2K's gameplay ideas.
