As the inevitable acquisition of Take 2 studios from gaming giant EA draws ever closer, it seems that EA is not willing to wait for GTA IV to come and drive the stock price to a higher amount. The sales of GTA IV are projected to make Take 2’s quarter sales to reach at least 150 million which would make the company much more valuable than it currently is. If I know this, you can bet the Finance Dept over at EA knows it. They have given a soft deadline of 4/18, a full week before GTA IV is released to hear a “Yes” on the merger. Take 2 has successfully stonewalled EA on every attempt so far to buy the lucrative studio so there is no reason to think anyone will blink before the killer app is released.

Take will probably say…….no, with a long enough delay for the game to come out. Then EA will have to shell out more for the take over.
