But it's good to see Take-Two Take-Care of their Taken-Employees....I know, I'm lame. Though I think it’d be interesting to see the merge happen…I just don’t want it to.

I suspect they'll keep on the key folks and let them work in piece. Only the EA lawyers will worry much about the Mature rating. It would be suicide for them to blow the GTA franchise.

EA has a terrible reputation of turning games into cheap franchises where they pump out a new one every year, and GTA isnt a game that could do well with that type of strategy. It simply needs massive amounts of time and effort put forward. Plus I dont see EA games as the right company for a solid Mature game.
