Infogrames Could Help Ubisoft vs. EA
GamesIndustry.biz iz reporting that in a show of European solidarity publisher Infogrames may assist Ubisoft (with the blessings of the French Government) if EA attempts a hostile takeover of the Prince of Persia developer. From the article: "Speaking to news agency Reuters, Bonnell expressed his hope that Ubisoft will remain independent - and rubbished EA's claim that its recent purchase of almost 20 per cent of the firm's stock was merely an investment." Further details on Greg Costikyan's Blog. All this is follow up to year-end shenanigans from EA.
I guess that means the EA cafeteria will be selling "Freedom Fries"
From Penny Arcade to EA:
PA: How do you respond to rumors that you are the fucking devil?

France stands up to aggression! Film at eleven.
Jordan Mechner has been kidnapped by unknown hostile assailants. A video released by his captors show him working 90 hour weeks at gunpoint in an unidentified office. Police suspect foul play.
Unknown host pong.
All Slashdotters from this day forward should boycott all EA produced software.
What, by not downloading those torrents?
Trolling is a art,
Everytime I see Infogrames, I can't help but wonder whether someone screwed up when they registered the company Infogames.
"Hey Bob, can you take a look at the incorporation documents? What's with the 'R' in the company name?"
"Ohhh...... fuck."
It's quite simple, Infogames will turn off the lights and EA will be eaten by a GRUE!
IGB: More fun than eating oatmeal!
