Wow, that would make Activision huge. I hope it doesn't happen though.

Those bastards at Activision. It was their plan from the start. Take a franchise, dust it off and apply a coat of new paint (COD4 MW) and hype it so it becomes wildly popular. Then, waste no effort on the future entries, save as much money as possible and release games annually to get as much profit as possible. Now with a bunch of money, they can buy their competition. Smart move.

Atleast EA would allow Rockstar to put some dev time into the games.  A lot of people bash EA, but there are so many publishers out there that are far worse, and I'm not just talking about Activision, but Deep Silver, Warner Bros, etc. 

Look how long it's been since EA bought UFC and they've finally released the game.  Exclusive for next gen also so they're not holding gaming back like some devs.

what are you talking about. EA rushed BF4 in just 2 years and released a broken game. Activision has delayed Destiny a full year (leaked documents showed it was supposed to be a holiday 2013 tittle) and Activision is giving CoD a 3 year dev cycle now. 



And then out of nowhere, MS buys T2 instead. I think Microsoft could afford it if Activision can. All those R* games, exclusive to Xbox platform!



“Ore no... Kachi da!”


This is some San Andreas shit going on. Don't bloody do it Take Two.

That's what everyone said about Bungie. Fancy that.


The jury is still out on that one. Come back with that attitude in 10 years and I'll give you a cookie.

If Activision succeeds they would've decreased the quality of Take Twos games just to make a profit. They would decrease the development time as Activision would want to see their annual sales rise. This is the only fault of buying out competition in capitalism. It causes the product to drop in quality when the lesser company creatively buys out the competition that has the internal prowess. Thats like MS buying out Nintendo. All Nintendo games would get watered down.



Hell No! If that happens, boycott time!



Bet with Xander XT: 

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

Me!

Unless they do what sony does to their 1st party studios. They leave them alone to do what they want. That's how Naughty Dogs and the rest of their WWS grew.
