According to Reuters, EA has made an agreement with the FTC to refrain from buying Take-Two until either the FTC finishes its probe into EA’s takeover bid for Take-Two or 45 days pass after EA complies with an information request from the FTC.
Back in April, EA submitted the second information request to the FTC. At the time, the FTC commented that it still needed to review the proposal further.
Take-Two will be reporting its earnings for the quarter ending in April this day. The earnings report might finally prompt EA to increase its US 2 billion offer, even though the company has said in the past that their offer has already taken Grand Theft Auto 4’s success into account.

Florida lawyer Jack Thompson is finding himself in deeper, hotter water this time, thanks to his latest antics in the courtroom. Thompson had apparently walked out of the recent disciplinary hearing, after filing his own “Thompson’s Formal Objection to June 4 Sanctions Hearing.” His actions resulted in getting an “enhanced disbarment” suggestion from the court.
Enhanced disbarment means that Thompson would be disbarred from practicing law for ten years.
Thompson’s 4,500-word formal objection included negative remarks towards Judge Dava Tunis, claiming her to be incompetent and arrogant, and questioned her credibility as a judge. Here’s an excerpt taken from the filing:
You, the referee, are not even a judge. The law in Florida on that’s clear, and it is found in Florida s Loyalty Oath Statute 876.05, et sequitur, held constitutional and binding by the United States Supreme Court in Connell v. Higginbotham.
He also mentioned in the formal objection some quotes from the Bible, and mentioned Senators Hillary Clinton and Obama having “followed [Thompson’s] lead.” He also added “Because I took on this cop-killing, woman-bashing video game, the Presidential race is now addressing the issue and this particular video game.”
Will the enhanced disbarment suggestion push through? We will keep you updated, as always. In the meantime, you can check out the Via link for the entire transcript of Thompson’s formal objection.
