EA wants Take 2

And it's turning to the shareholders to get it.

Electronic Arts REALLY wants Take 2 for some reason. The only company with an NFL license has been slamming Take 2 Interactive for the past month. A bid was put in for 2 billion dollars for the company, which Take 2 vehemently refused.

Now EA has turned hostile, going after its shareholders, asking for 26 bucks a share, which, for the shares they're going after, total up to about the 2 billion they were asking for in the first place. The bid expires on April 11.

To me, I'm not sure if they're going after Take 2 for the football games, or for GTA4, which comes out April 29th. There's a high demand for that particular game, and could legitimize Take 2's defense against EA's hostile pressure.

Got something constructive to say? By all means, rant away. Gonna blab about something unrelated and/or talk shit? Don't expect your comment to stick around.
