EA to Own Take-Two by August?

capin131 | July 30, 2008 | News | Company

Yesterday, one investment journalist reported that Microsoft was the suitor for Take-Two. Today, Citigroup analyst Brent Thill believes that Electronic Arts will officially purchase Take-Two by August.

“We expect FTC approval in August and for ERTS to raise its bid slightly upon approval to $27-$28 in order to potentially seal a deal in time for holiday season GTA orders,” Thill said.

      Ask yourself this; would you rather have a fantastic ground-breaking, addictingly fun game like GTA every 4-5 years? Or would you rather have a rehashed generic piece of shit every 12 months?
