EA Ends Pursuit of Take-Two

Electronic Arts (EA) has decided seven months is enough. It has decided to end its pursuit of Take-Two Interactive, which began --- and was rejected --- in late February.

In August, EA let its tender offer for Take-Two expire, but the company remained interested. The two companies continued discussion in private.

On Sunday, EA issued a press release which says discussions are terminated, once and for all.

Woot! Good news for these eyes to read.

Let's hope that now that they've been denied Take Two that they don't set their sights back on Ubisoft.
