Wake up cunts. Or every game you play will have EA on it. You won;t have a choice if the games are shit, because they'll have their finger in EVERY SINGLE PIE!
Right, look, I'm sorry.
A) For calling you all cunts
and
B)To all those who were kind enough to respond to this post first time around
I'll try again:
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.
RANDOM FAN SERVICE INTERJECTION:
FOR THE DUDES:
look how hot Monica Bellucci is!
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.
RANDOM FAN SERVICE INTERJECTION:
FOR THE LADIES:
Hot bod guy. It's either the one from Maroon 5, or Lost.
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!
I totally understand if it's a dumb idea, but if you think it is, please give a more effective direction for my enthusiasm.
C'mon, I've given you hot bods and a good cause! Let's go buy some shares! Yes?
If anything, having EA's wallet free to Rockstar will bring out some more insanity they couldn't achieve in their current situation.
NOT READING.
i'd like to think if EA buys take 2, they will treat rockstar like they treat harmonix, let them do their own thing, and then watch the money roll in.
i think rock band actually benefitted from being under the EA umbrealla. had more funds to throw at it, and it turned out pretty damn good.
There's more numbers and less magic involved in making a GTA, as opposed to many mascot franchise games.
If that's Rockstar's position on it then EA will take brand away from them and develop it themselves internally.
EA's not afraid to drive a brand into the ground for the sake of profits off of people who'd buy it no matter what.
So, William Wallace, how do I buy stock? Might be good for the next time you "bump" you c-blog.
Stop that, btw.
Yeah, that Ricitello guy, the biggest cunt at EA said that he would 'make GTA without Rockstar' That's the bit that worries me. If it were a case of EA just giving Rockstar more money to make better games, I'd be all for it. But you're right, they'll just run it into the ground. Not to mention, that out here in the UK, EA have taken to charging £50 for all their games, that's nearly $100. It sucks out here...
There are 2 ways to buy stock that I know of:
1. Get it through your bank. They can buy it for you, but it may take around 4 days and you'll pay the price on the day it gets bought, not the day you ask for it to get bought.
2. A stock-broker. Which is more reliable, but they will charge you a little for their services.
Thanks guys. As dumb and as idealistic as all this may be, a world where EA owns absolutely every major franchise is a shitty one.
All EA is trying to do is get enough IP's together so they can release their own console and only put those big budget games on the console so that they will rule both consoles and games.
Scary huh?
It would explain the whole Peter Moore thing.
Where do you shop? I work in GAME and all 360 titles are £40, except for EA ones. As for PS3, they're abit more varied. My point is, the more games owned by EA, the more that cost £50 which is fucking ridiculous.
@Jack.
I'm pretty sure that if that happens I'm going to reject technology altogether and go live a pastoral existence. Like this:

lol. Yeah, in this months GI there was talk about EA releaseing their own console. They are waiting to see how Sony's console does in the long run before they attack. I don't think I will buy a EA console, but if its the only console that will have Bioshock, GTA4, Madded Shit & and all other IP's, I might be persuaded.
EA hates me!!!!!!!
/Titan Fan Rant.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
@ The Faux-Bot
p.s.
Ubisoft will be EA's soon too!
For real? Jesus christ, when are they going to stop? Now I know why it's easier not to care about evil moneygrabbing bastards. *sigh*
I dunno. I just Googled "hot male"
