Just ay No, Take-Two

Thank you, thank you, thank you! That’s my feeling when I heard that Take-Two, the company behind the "Grand Theft Auto" series, has rejected a takeover bid from Electronic Arts, the company behind…Madden NFL and FIFA Soccer!

Bad price, bad timing was the reason for Take-Two’s rejection and I hope it stay that way! EA, who are on a buying spree recently (BioWare Corp. anyone?), isn’t known for giving their sub-companies full creative control and independence.

However, it’s not over. Take-Two said it is open to discussions with EA, but wants to wait until April 30, the day after the latest version of Grand Theft Auto hits store shelves. Please…just say ‘NO’.
