 Everyone knows that Electronic Arts has been looking into purchasing Take-Two Interactive because of Rockstar Games. Even though the deal didn't push through, it looks like EA is confident that they will be getting their way in the end.Rumor has it that the company purchased GTAForums.com, one of the largest Grand Theft Auto fansites on the internet, on March 22 for US$ 3.4 million. A letter (shown in the upper right; a copy of which received by IAreGamer) from EA to Tank, the webmaster of GTAforums, reportedly shows the company's interest in purchasing the forums. So far, no word on whether this deal really did push through or not. If it did, though, it looks like EA is pretty confident in their bid to take control of Take-Two Interactive. We're going to be keeping an eye for any developments on this, so be sure to keep checking back here for more news and updates. |

Actually someone on the site posted the exact same letter with the details edited but unoticably so, looks like it might be fake and just sort of "letter generator" was used to create it. I hope so anyway - I think it is someone preparing for an April fools prank abit early.

I don't wanna loose my favorite franchise, just because EA says: « we want one game per year, no matter if it's done or not »

if this is true which i dont think it is
it would be a semi-good sign
think about it most of that forum is modding if EA does take over the might allow more user content in it
