Wire service AFP reports that last night’s deadline for Take-Two shareholders to agree to EA’s takeover bid passed without a peep from either side. Take-Two commented earlier Friday saying that the issue “is in [EA's] court.” EA would not comment on the situation.
In non-business news, the AFP could’ve probably used an editor on staff who plays video games while reporting this story. Forget the semi-understandable error that it called GTA IV, a game with one of the best retail launches of all time, Grand Theft Auto IV: Liberty City Stories. Focus more on the fact that the AFP in reporting about GTA IV says, “Players score points with acts such as carjacking and killing prostitutes or police officers.” Looks like Rep. Lee Terry and the AFP are getting their info from the same source.
