    Eek.

    I always saw Ubi as sort of the antithesis of EA. Let's hope this goes no further.

    Seriously, I hope this works out for the best for you guys, i.e. falls through. Right on the heels of this NFL exclusitivity thing, this starts painting a potentially very bleak future...

    I mean, if EA can go for a company as large as Ubi... Yikes.

    If 'Beyond Good and Evil 2' came because of this (EAs like of sequels) it'd be the only good thing.

    Monopolies are bad and EA are really starting to scare me of late, they squeeze originality out of the games industry like a juicer.

    I wouldn't want it from EA. They probably wouldn't even let Ancel & co. do it

    I wish they'd buy Acclaim or Midway.... then it would be like the big monster swallowing poison.

    Hey Klein, do you have stock options with Ubi? Because right now your shares are going up. You might want to sell a few off and build yourself a financial coushin for the... you know... impending doom.

    Good luck and god speed, Kleiny.
