EA's Latest Take-Two Offer Expires Today

EA's Latest Take-Two Offer Expires Today

July 18, 2008

A piece in today's New York Post reminds us that EA's most recent renewal of its $25.74 tender offer to acquire Take-Two stock expires today.

The most likely development is a renewed offer by EA.

Yay! More courting by EA. How many times does Take Two have to say "NO!" before you get it through your thick heads that they are not playing hard to get.

Granted, they haven't renewed their offer just yet, but you know it will happen.

How many time do they have to say no before it's considered rape?

This reminds of the monopoly game I have on my phone.  I offer a trade, the computer rejects it, I offer again, offer accepted.

Screw EA!!  Stay strong Take Two!  Do no let those bastards win!!  They're afraid of you because you're a threat to them!  Listen to your pride and not to EA's money!

I find myself wondering how long this will go on.  This is the 4th, 5th? (lost count) extension by EA.  Are they that arrogant that they refuse to yield.  "We never lose" blah blah.  Or simply to stupid to know when to quit?   ie pulling a Jack Thompson; losing and claiming you have them right where you want them.  

EA please take your vampiric bit elsewhere.

The easiest thing for one of them to do is to tell the other to fuck off and die.

Take Two has tried that. It didn't work.

So I guess there's no way to say "we're not selling, stop asking" and get them to actually, well, stop asking?

Sigh, EA either cut the crap or just extend the offer to 'when hell freezes over' we know you'll just keep extending it anyway.

I think the new deadline that EA gives T2 (if again, they renew the offer) is December 30, 9999.
