03.13.08 by Doc @ 10:14 am  EA's buyout offer to Take-Two has gone hostile. The software titans, having been rebuffed on a more congenial buyout offer, has gone with a straight offer to shareholders at $26/share...they're attempting to just buy controlling interest out via the open market. Despite the timing, this deal isn't just (or even mostly) about Take-Two/Rockstar's marquee Grand Theft Auto franchise, whose fourth (or sixth or eighth, depending on how you count 'em) installment is just around the corner. I suspect, as do others, that GTA is a smokescreen and a nice bonus from EA's perspective in this deal. The real juicy acquisition is T2's competing sports franchises. If EA sews up this deal, they will be the sole licensed purveyor of video games based on any and all professional and collegiate sports. So now all you basketball and hockey fans can come to know the agony that the football side of the house has struggled with since EA got cozy with the NFL. Further analysis after the jump.

03.10.08 by Widge @ 12:55 pm  As everyone knows, Gygax passed away last week. We gave our own remembrance in the last Weekend Justice. Adam Rogers, senior editor from Wired, published a piece in the New York Times that makes the following argument: Mr. Gygax co-created the game Dungeons & Dragons, and on that foundation of role-playing and polyhedral dice he constructed the social and intellectual structure of our world. And I think he makes an excellent case. Read the whole thing here. Thanks to Zac for the headsup. Categorized as: Games
