EA Trying to Buy Ubisoft Shares

jujubees writes "What is going on with Electronic Arts these days? This morning it was revealed that EA is trying to acquire 19.9% of the Ubisoft shares owned by Dutch investment company Talpa Beheer B.V. If approved by the US Antitrust department, the buyout would instantly make EA the biggest shareholder, ahead of the Guillemot brothers. Whether this is a hostile takeover attempt is not clear at this point, no financial terms were disclosed." An anonymous reader also wrote in to mention a GamePro Editorial about the company, regarding its past as an honorable games-maker and its current reputation.

I wondered how that got in the post without even a "sic", but then this bit outside of the quote made it all clear: "regarding its past as an honorable games-maker and it's current reputation."

Don't know the diffence between "its" and "it's"? Use both!

The problem is that the way every other company out there would is just buying competency.

There's the problem: maybe they should be buying competence instead. It's a simple rule: "ent" -> "ence". John Hancock did not sign the Declaration of Independency.
