Hopefully

They will make a Bully 2 at some point, and it will be TRULY next gen

You know what this means huh?

This acquisition translates to "Screw you, EA."

What?

No it doesn't; that doesn't even make sense. Rockstar isn't Take-Two. Rockstar is a developer, not a publisher. This has no effect on EA's desire (or ability) to take over Take-Two and the GTA IP whatsoever.

Hmm

Funny because I could have swore that Rockstar was a subsidiary of Take Two. If they bought Take Two they buy Rockstar basically.

It is...

"Rockstar Games is a development division of video game publisher Take-Two Interactive, based in New York City, United States."
