Quality gaming on the decline...

Nah, I disagree. But I hope your right.

THE END IS NI!!!

The Problem is EA is not bad as a Company,
but that Monopol they try to build is dangerous to the whole industry

The thing is EA has good games, As long as EA publishes AAA games they turn out to be good. Let's just hope EA doesnt merge some of the T2 studios into something new.

but if they only act as a publisher and leave studios that have fantasic franchises to do their work I dont see a problem with them buying whoever...they have great marketing knowhow, and is just a giant in this industry. I highly doubt they would try and crank out yearly GTA: chicago (old Al Capone era would be sick) GTA: Orlando disney edition GTA: Maddan 09....At least thats my take. Maybe EA is acquire talent because it lacks talent...

Think this is just funny, couldnt care less what happens there will always be good games people just get to used to certain developers and act like they can only produce good games.

Its an expensive industry and this is what happens money gets thrown around. Besides you dont have to be a part of EA to make sh!t games.

Hey if this means that some of the people behind NFL 2K5 can help make madden better Im all for it. Besides people get so caught up in a developer that they fail to see that the programmers are responsible for good games. Rare hasnt been the same since it lost a lot of talent and it had nothing to do with Microsoft buying them. IMO that is.

Besides Activision has pretty much made it so EA has to work harder both those companies growing is actually a good thing. Skate is gonna make Hawk games stop being the same old sh!t and Rockband is gonna push GH.

Im not all about EA or anything but you know what are you gonna do besides not buy their games?

Now when EA tries to buy Valve then Ill care.

They need to purchase Take-Two Interactive before GTAIV is released, otherwise their stock will be too expensive.

I can't wait to play Bioshock and GTA 09!!!!! I hope they're working on that custom plasmid and rims microtransaction right now!!!!!!

Before you slower people burn that disagree button up....

*Sarcasm -Stating the opposite of an intended meaning especially in order to sneeringly, slyly, jest or mock a person, situation or thing. It is strongly associated with irony, with some definitions classifying it as a type of verbal irony intended to insult or wound.*

I hope EA doesn't succeed in this. They can't seem to get what would be good concepts right.

get ready next year for GTA2010 then the next year GTA2011 where its the same game only they tuchedup the visuals and you can run differently.

Not lookin good for take 2.

Goodbye 2K Sports...

Goodbye quality...

dont give in to those greedy non creative EA bastards.

NOOO TAKE-TWO DONT GIVE IN TO THE DARK-SIDE!!

what will they not do with our beloved Bioshock/GTA .. turn them failure franchises released every single year? and then rape the rest of take-two?.. i believe so..

Seriously f*ck EA and their evil plan to make a single gaming system.. what overprised crappy broken games wouldnt se the light on such a thing tbh.. ´

EDIT: (noticed some ppl saying EA wont ruin the games, and just leave the companies to make their games, and act simply as a publisher.. if only that was true.. ya know, EA had a tendensy to "Rush&Ruin" every game they can get their hands on.. they dont care about the games? its the moneeeeey) lol

And that's the f*cked up thing about shares and stock markets...Your company is not even for sale, yet someone can still buy it....It just sounds stupid...Imagine someone buying your house even if it's not on sale, how mad would you be?

Still, EA is starting to piss gamers off. And it's only the beginning. I think they'll stop when they have their monopoly...Reminds me of a certain company that when to court for that.........

why cant they actually IMPROVE Madden instead of buying their competition? I always liked 2k football games better, mabe cause I had a dreamcast but whatever. I really dont think ea deserves any part in some of my favorite games like GTA and Bioshock. Why dont they try and make good games themselves instead of buying everyone elses games. EA can lick my balls. I hope GTA 4 is REALLY good cause it may be the last one I ever buy.

I have boycotted EA and I will continue to boycott EA because they are crap.....I will pray about this every night because I hope it doesnt happen LEAVE TAKE TWO ALONE EA PLEASE DONT RUIN THE GAMING INDUSTRY.

Everyone hates EA but you all still buy their games. Make up your minds!

These guys are just about ramming crap down your throat every year. They said they want a Call Of Duty every year. That would definitely hinder the quality of the games. Good games take time to develop, but EA doesn't care as long as they get your 60 bucks.

for shame EA, for shame...

maybe EA really wants to go into the console business. They'd almost be like an American Sony. They have their own second party studios don't they?

cause if EA sees even a little of that money ill be sad. And like someone said that sure will increase their price and Id like to see it cost EA WAY more than they were hoping, if this happens.

dont worry R* you have a home elsewhere.

You cannot stop EA.

We are bigger than you.
We have more money than you.
We make Battlefield, Commander & Conquer, and James Bond games.

You cannot escape our buyouts

And we suck at porting so we hope you know how to dev for ps3 :D

I Love EA.

I dont know why you guys hate them.

You just fear change, nothing but good things will come from EA buying Take-Two.

And an EA console would be the best thing ever!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOO!!!!

You realize EA bought Westwood and Bullfrog both great companies, and SHUT THEM DOWN.

EA scum-bags killing off the competition, m$ got billed for this, EA may get in trouble as well.
