Today Electronic Arts told Jack thanks, but no thanks:
| quote: |
Mr. Thompson,
We have received your letter to EA's shareholder site. In response to your offer to assist in the proposed acquisition of Take-Two, we would strongly prefer that you not get involved in this matter. EA is a strong supporter of creative freedom for game developers. We feel that your past statements - including false claims about content in our games - make any collaboration with you impossible.
Sincerely,
Mariam Sughayer
Sr. Manager Corporate Communications
Electronic Arts, Inc. |
Wow, that's about the nicest off I've ever heard. Now get back to the kid's table Jack, the adults have to talk about important things. |
Without a doubt one of the funniest things I have read this week - I'm no fan of EA or their seeming desire to remove all competitors so they can continue to publish mediocre crap, but I've gotta hand it to them here, that is indeed about the nicest possible way I've ever seen anyone say "Let the big kids do their work and you just go back and play with your toys and petty lawsuits."
Awesome. |

| Just like you RJT, I really have no respect for EA's work, and yet this is probably the coolest thing a developer has done in quite some time. They have, in ways, gained respect from me. Still wont buy their games, though. :p |

| it depends. when its merely published by EA the games can be quite good. its when they are involved in the creative aspect that their games tend to be turd. which is a shame, coz 15-20 years ago EA were pioneers. |
