EA hostile takeover offer for Take-Two

[Bolivar]

As much as this move looks dirty, and makes me sad for the developers of one of my favorite franchises, I have to come in defense of EA and say that they make alot of games that I personally enjoyed a hell of alot. Like with Westwood, they put out Red Alert 2 after being bought out by EA, and that was an amazing RTS. I guess something went wrong and the typical "shut down" thing happened. Years later they basically used the franchise name to put out a completely new RTS that was nothing like command & conquer at all, and you know what happened?

Generals was one of the best RTS I've ever played, probably my favorite.

I understand it's a different story for many other studios, but overall, alot of the games I've bought and enjoyed were by EA. The only really bad part about this I see is that there was reportedly no place in the contract for GTA developers.. I'm guessing they would basically dismantle the studio to lessen competition with their own games, only to bring back the franchise years later with a game nothing like the originals. I dont' know, we'll see.
