Well, people, it's official, quality videogames are on their way out. EA is buying Take Two Games for 2 billion dollars. This means that Grand Theft Auto, Bioshock, The Elder Scrolls Series, Fallout, and various other critically acclaimed series are going to be owned by EA from now on. They're gonna be mass-produced, with all the originality sucked out of them.

The worst part is that the head of EA is being a complete pocky about it. He says "wee won't change the way they make games, wee'll just sell them" as if Take Two's games don't sell without EA. Last I checked, GTA: San Andreas topped even Halo 2 when it came out, and Bioshock sold so many copies on its first 2 days that it crashed Irrational Games' and Steam's servers. THem saying that they'll "actually sell the games" is just their way of saying they want to cash in on the GTAIV phenomenon. Bastards.

Here are some of the news sources. Sorry, they're from Gamespot, but that's where I heard it first. I'll try to find some other sources.
