The fewer games I have to buy from EA the better. This is good news, although, not necessarily for Take-Two shareholders, but for the PC-Gaming community.

I wholeheartedly agree, Fulle. The only games I intend to buy, are non-EA games now. If they bought TT out, and tried to make a "new" GTA game, I'm sure that game would suck. I bet the reason why they dropped the takeover, is that the money isn't there, now that the excitement of GTA has died down.

*whew* Take Two, you just dodged the bullet...

However, Fulle, what do you mean "have to buy from EA" - don't you mean choose to buy?

Personally, I choose never to buy another EA product until they remove their crippling restrictions. Any money I give them is nothing more than a vote for their product restrictions.

I'm relieved the beast has been beaten back, for now... but don't think for one minute that EA is done trying to engulf gaming, to drown it.
