Please no. I'd rather not have GTA 09 10 ect and for Bioshock 2 to be rushed.

So we'll get a GTA every year with absolutely nothing new added? ::)

Still, 2 billion dollars. That is more than the 1 billion Microsoft wanted for Epic Games.

And maybe they will actually give Bioshock 2 some multiplayer/replay value/ a better ending.

Bioshock could have had a much better ending, yes...but I was overall very satisfied with the game.

We'll see GTA 2008, GTA 2009, GTA 2010, and GTA 2011, each with different hairstyles.

Rockstar will cease to exist, probably.

They published GTA.

Also, lol, Madden.

And forget any parodies in terms of ads in GTA.

EA will remove them and put in real ads.

They're the 4Kids of gaming.

You do know the chairman's opinion isn't enough if they seize majority control from shareholders, right?
