Article reads
"The New York Times is reporting that EA has offered $2B for Take Two Entertainment. The effort appears to be a move to consolidate the two companies before Take Two releases the next iteration of its blockbuster franchise, Grand Theft Auto 4. Take Two has politely declined the offer."

What a slap in the face to EA!

"Hey guys, how does $2 billion (more than what YouTube sold for) sound to you guys?"
"Fuck off"

Because a company that can offer $2 billion for another company cannot generally be bought for the same amount...

Thank God. They'd royally fuck up the GTA Series, and Take 2 and Rockstar do a GREAT job with it.

+1 to Take Two for having some balls to stand up to EA. Kind of a bad business move, but at this point anything to keep EA down is good in my book.

BF2S Forums EA offers 2 Billion for take 2 (GTA series)
