Update: After reading Herb Greenberg's
outlook on Take2's rejection, one has to re-examine if Zelnick cares
about GTAIV more than money. Mr. Greenberg provides a perspective of
Take2 and ZelnickMedia placing themselves before shareholders. The core
issue still stands, though, and that is some gamers do not want to see
GTA IV and subsequent titles in the series produced by EA.
Therefore, we offered to initiate discussions with EA on April 30th, 2008 (the day after Grand Theft Auto IV is scheduled to release). We believe this offer demonstrated our commitment to pursuing all avenues to maximize stockholder value, while we believe that EA's refusal to entertain this path is evidence of their desire to acquire Take-Two at a significant discount, whereas we believe this value rightly belongs to our stockholders. |
Games Asylum: "Even those outside the US will have noticed the American government’s actions bleeding into their subconsciousness. Just by scrolling social media, glancing over newspapers, listening to radio, or flicking through TV channels, you’ll inevitably catch wind of current news concerning US political parties, especially in the run-up to elections. This bleeds into video games too, with various presidents making novelty appearances over the years, and frequent digs at the government as a whole."
Phantom Fury could have been genuinely great, but is undermined by odd design choices and a nonsensical story.
