Support NeoGAF

A developing story is taking place as it appears the stockholders for Digital Illusions CE will not approve of the buyout by Electronic Arts at their current offer. One of Sweden's most respected business newspapers is reporting that two factions, controlling 16% and 12% of the stock, will not vote for the merger. 90% of the stockholders' support is needed for approval. Both stockholder factions feel that next year will yield them a large boost and that fact was not taken into account with EA's offer. DICE offered no comment at the time.

Probably got wind of the NFL and are holding out for more money. But I hope they just don't want it.

Madden 2005 comes pretty close with its $50 to $30 drop in 3 months....

Well, then again rally games always sell like shit in USA. I guess you have enough with your great Nascar games.
Actually I believe RSC1 is still the best selling rally game in america this gen.

In Europe, RSC2 is still close to full price.

 

[SKluck]

Rock on duders! I was kind of excited then I saw "at current offer". Let's hope EA doesn't think they are worth as much as these two want.

It is worth every penny even at full price. Actually, its worth it at a good $50 over full price.

I dont know anyone who buys those Nascar games except Shpankey and he is only into the papyrus one.

I would be willing to bet that Rally games still do better than NASCAR games in the US. ....I hope.

Simple translation. EA wont raise their offer.

 

[pilonv1]

Finally a ray of hope.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

So what was the offer?

 

[Midas]

Around $8 for each stock/share.

E chi lo dice ?

 

[nubbe]

yay socialism!

 

[Midas]

Hehe, it's not like these guys are doing this because of "loyalty" or something like that. They want more money, just like EA.

 

[Gibbles]

yay socialism!

Socialism > Dick Cheney

Any day.
