EA's $2 billion bid for Take Two bad news for sports gaming

[nemowolf]

From ArsTechinca:

While arguably the best franchise other than madden, GTA has indeed been put on the four front of this arguement. As this has just hit public attention, more light will be shed over the coming days as people realize games they play may no longer be available because of this take over. Yet on the other hand, some may be hoping for additional resources to come through and pull out a sequel to other popular hits like Bully. (Myself included since i just picked up the game after not playing it since a few weeks after release.)

Quote:

EA made waves in October when the gaming giant purchased Pandemic and BioWare, and the company has pledged to release fewer sequels while expanding its new IP. While there hasn't been enough time to see if EA is sincere in that aim, the company remains acquisition-hungry, and has just made public its wish to purchase Take Two Interactive.
