GTA under EA be the same or destroyed?

"We all feared that if EA took over Take 2 they would destroy GTA forever just like they have done with takeovers in the past. I think that EA would have completely destroyed GTA by trying to make it 'their' game and just lose that GTA touch altogether. It wouldn't be GTA at all. No one can do it as good as Rockstar."

"What's your view on this? Do you think EA had the potential to destroy the GTA series by making it 'their' game?"
