Take 2 tells EA to TAKE THAT !!!

[SoccerDude28]

I'm sorry if this was mentioned be4.

I read today in gameinformer that Take 2 got exclusive third party rights to the MLB franchise and its players. What does that mean? It means that Take 2 is the only third party that can use the player names etc.. in their games, but first party companies like Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony can still use them. This is a direct blow to EA who with Sega are the main third party titles.

TAKE THAT EA!!!!!!!

No one gives a fuck about baseball though. That's why they could afford it.

Is that like Cricket?

And wasn't the MLB season just cancelled?

I think somebody should buy exclusive third party rights to Gene Wilder. Hey, d'ya suppose that can be done? And then what if I wanted to make a game with a character in it called Jerome Silberman? Do they own ALL of his names? Is it like a 'buy one, get one free' deal with actors? Buy Gene Wilder now, and recieve his REAL name for free! Plus a free DVD for the first ten bidders. And the DVD is a remastered version of Willy Wonka. Where is your Whimsy, EA? Where is your whimsy?

I can't remember if it's 'I before E except after C' or 'I before E except before C', and I also can't remember the exceptions to this rule.

"Take this, EA games! We have the rights to BASEBALL!"

"Baseball? Is that like Cricket?"

"Hi! I'm George."

No, the National Hockey games are the ones not playing.

It IS true that no one gives a damn about baseball though. I read the sales in USA Today, and Football is where the gaming is at money wise. Base Ball might not even be worth the $ they had to invest given that they only got 3rd party rights.

George double u Bush would make a great Wonka, I suddenly realise thanks that that picture.
