Activision Blizzard could buy anything they want.

I hope this doesn't turn out true. EA ruins everything they lay hands on.:(

Well, they'll cut R* loose for sure if it does happenTheNumber_12

just so u no just because EA might buy TAKE-TWO it dont mean that the games are automaticly going to suck. ITS STILL THE SAME TAKE-TWO people just that EA has the name. Just like sony and like every movie company gwf123

It may still be the same dev team but then they would have EA breathing down their backs all day long. EA as publisher could force the game to be release way before its time which would void any and all chance for a good game.

As long as EA don't buy Konami and kills MGS4, i'll survive

EA has its strong point but that isnt licensed games and thats what give them their bad rep. Sport and most IPs are good or even great.

meh. activition will destroy them because they actually care about consumersshroom76

LMAO witholding the GH patch says otherwise...neither company gives a sh!t about you.

I guess we can expect a rushed and glitched grand theft auto game EVERY YEAR, and for every console known to man.marc2000

lmao!

Man Ive really started to hate EA this year!

I'll give credit where credit is due and that was the best Simpsons quote I've read! Bravo!

Good-bye original gaming, all EA will do is roster updates for $39.99! Brilliant!!

Well, everybody hates EA, that's clear. What's not clear is that if EA is a company which nobody likes then why is it still standing? People that hate EA SHOULD NOT BUY THEIR GAMES and let EA die once and for all. But is clear that you all buy EA games and its now very clear why EA survived all this years even though it has crappy games. So, stop complaining about EA and DO NOT BUY THEIR GAMES. If they still have brains in their heads they'll start to realize that they are doing everything wrong and correct their attitude. Eventually they'll make better games and everyone will be happy. The end.

True story.

well said

If this happens, I will never buy another GTA game ever. Also, EA is going to do their stupid porting crap on the PS3 and will make it look horrible against the 360 version which just pisses me off.:evil:

This is basically someones blog.

Pure speculation.

There is no quotes from anyone at EA or Take 2 saying anything about a merger.

EA already said that they were done buying up studios after they bought pandemic/bioware.

This is total BS

Oh my GOD this can't be happening...

EA are actually buying everything, do they realise they actuallly SUCK.

JESUS CHRIST.

OMG AHHHH...

Think how many lame ports we will have, and glitches, arrrrghhh they have NO IDEA??!? If EA carry on the way theyre going then, well, it sickens me to say, but the other console whose name must not be named, will have better games...

Why can't EA;

A) Learn how to program for our console?

B) Stop buying everything out - they just don't have a clue how to do anything.

C) Stop handing us THE worst ports WITHOUT a question, that any company has ever handed us.

boys Rockstar is going to leave take two in the next few months. Sony may buy R* the only reason i think this is becaues there next game is exclusive to PS3. but who knows. point being EA is not going to get Rockstar as part of this deal! jackle2071

Is there confirmation that R* are going to leave take two??!?

We have an exclusive franchise lined up with R* who are promising to harness the power of the PS3, i swear if EA screws that up..

I actually feel SICK.

EA is just like a massive bozo, just goes around, thinking everyone loves them, buying out companies, and ruining the industry, just for money, I bet they don't even know how hated they are right now..

If sony buys R*, that will actually be like heaven..

Sony will have another title selling it..

Is R* owned by Take-Two?

Does that mean that if EA took over Take-Two EA would also take over R*?

Couldn't R* just strategicallly leave just before EA took over, for the sake of good games and our enjoyment?
