According to joystiq and substantiated by other news sites, EA today has begun their hostile take over of Take 2 Interactive
They have put a public offer for 26 dollars per share, above the current value of the company.
Whether this newest move by EA will be successful or not will be decided by April 11th, the closing date of this offer, unless they extend it.
One thing can be certain, if EA succeeds in this, 2k games will be no more. Who knows, maybe they'll keep the people from 2k games and madden might actually be playable.
How much is enough? Really EA, you already have a bad rep from your previous business practices and now you come out of the games with this. This may be good business but it's shitty PR and gamers hold grudges.
As for the fate of GTA, that remains to be seen.
