Could we save Take Two?
The Faux-Bot | 5:51 AM on 03.25.2008 3 comments


Ok, please don't lynch me or anything. I'm all fired up on coffee and I'm just about to leave for work, when I get what I think may be a good idea.

This whole business with EA aggressively buying out Take Two scares the shit out of me. I know it's been said many times before, but to me, this is the most obvious display that they are just total, blood-hungry, evil, evil cunts.

I don't really know anything about the stock market, or shares, but I was wondering whether or not it would be effective at all for fans to start buying shares.

First and foremost, I love GTA and I just don't want to see EA get their hands on it. If anyone has any input to maybe calm me down, or guide me, I'd really appreciate it.

In a nutshell, I want to halt EA as much as possible, and show my support. It's not like I think Take Two is some sort of idealistic, almost holy company, but they're not a patch on EA. I'd like to believe that in this day, there are still some people who don;t have a price.

If I can, I'm going to buy some shares, maybe only one, just to show my support. At least if we were vocal about it, it might piss EA off a little.

Brothers and sisters! Rise up!

Its a matter of integrity, if Take Two has any it won't sell and if it doesn't then well, they don't deserve to be independent.

well put wong. (that's what she said snicker)

All we can do is show support in buying take two merchandise.

Honestly, I'm having a little trouble feeling sorry for a corporation that was recently offered a $2 billion buyout, hostile takeover or not.

Your crusade seems noble and all, but it might be naive to think that all gamers will unite to save this company and pitch in their spare change to buy stock. We can't even stand together as gamers without the requisite trolls and fanboys bitching about Xbox 360/PS3/Wii superiority.

Sorry, I didn't mean to come across as a dick.
