EA will come out and say that their Take Two buyout didn’t go as planned. The monster-developer even went as far as purchasing the domain: www.eatake2.com. Yeah, it seems they were very confident. Now that the chances of a completed deal are dissolving away, it seems EA is switching to their backup plan. According to the same source, EA also registered the domain: www.eaubisoft.com days before their projected proposal.

EA already owns 19.9% of Ubisoft’s stock and has been included in multiple rumours of buying out the French developer. Ubisoft’s price has definatly gotten steeper over the months as the developerhas had their stock rise significantly due to multiple highly successful games.

The evidence is there, and the rumour is realistic, but this kind of thing has been said before and see far, it has yet to happen. If it doesn’t come into fruition, EA will have lost another $10, a mistake I’m not sure they could make. Atleast we can sleep easy that they haven’t registered the www.eagamingverdict.com domain, or your favorite gaming site might be getting the same treatment.
