Yup, I have not link on the specifics of the deal...so you can ontinue to believe that M$ paid $50 million to secure exclusivity for 6 months. At any rate...M$ EDD reported another $300 million plus quarter and hte fifth in hte row...so evidently, they are doing A-OK in the business department, and making the right calls. |
Why is it that speculation (the $50M being a loan) is now being regarded as fact, especially when "it was a loan" came from absolutely nowhere? And the only facts that we do have are, conversely, being regarded as speculation. Here's the tangible facts that we know of. Take Two had a conference call. In it, some execs said "Microsoft gave us $50M. It's going to be about $25M per episode for GTAIV"......and you're trying to spin that to make me sound ignorant?
Yea, sure. You can continue to believe that loan speculation, which was generated PURELY by forum goers and never ONCE stated by MS or T2, is fact. I'll listen to what the guys at Take Two say. And I don't care about their earning this quarter. #1 They're MS....you know, the big multibillion dollar company that has like 95% of the computer marketshare. Have they ever posted in the red, the whole company, not just the games division (which, by the way, that $300M figure isn't just from games)? #2 The deal with Take Two was in early 2007. What relevance does that earnings report have here anyway?
