Forums - Sales - Take-Two says No to EA... For now!

Squall_Leonhart on 24 February 2008

Take two has just responded to EA offer saying its under valuing them and that they will look at the offer again after GTA4 comes out as the think they will be worth more when GTA4 is out. (Well Duh)

Heres the link about the responce:

Heres hopeing that this gives Rockstar a little more time to jump ship before it happens when their contract is up with Take Two.

Heres a link talking a little about the contract:

If EA bought Capcom, I would be very angry.

If EA bought Square-Enix i would be very unhappy, but i don't think that it very likely :D

I'm so glad they declined, did anyone actually read the whole transcript? It's brilliant, they said everything I was hoping they'd say.

Does it start with "WTF, EA, you DIP***, TAKE YOUR F******* MONEY AND ******* YOUR ******** WITH IT"?

It pretty much says that but all text book wording style, they basically state they know EA are out to try take advantage of them before the release of GTA4 and that they are healthy as an indepandant company and have no need for EA.
