Fake out: EA buying GTA forum was April Fools' joke by mods |
Ó
You remember that US$ 3.4 million offer made by Electronic Arts to purchase GTAForums.com? We reported it as a rumor. Our mistake. It was actually a joke. A really early April Fools' joke from the forum's own moderators.
EA has been making waves lately, what with their intentions of taking Take-Two Interactive under its umbrella made crystal clear to the industry. If they purchased the forums, they would take control of one of the most active communities for T2's popular Grand Theft Auto franchise, which is why the joke felt so believable.
Even though purchase of the forums was actually non-existent to begin with, EA's intentions on taking over T2 remains. Who knows, maybe this April Fools' joke inspired some new strategies in them.

Does it look like its april? April fool jokes dont work if its not even april --_--..
I'm soooo tired of these Feb + March attempts at APRIL Fools Day... kinda says something if you can't pull the trick off w/o cheating it.
They would have kept it going until Arpil 1st but to many people on the forums sussed them out.
they had to end it early because people were being babys.
Maybe EA payed them to say it was a joke?...and Elvis is living on an island with Tupac.
Conspiracy theories FTW!
