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.

Before I read any of the linked text, I should know the basics about what's going on, who Ubisoft is, and who Costikyan is.

In the time you spent writing your post, you could have Googled the information you were looking for, rather than wasting everyone's time listening to you whine, and remaining ignorant.

Slashdot stories are not going to suddenly get longer because people like you refuse to put out a little effort.

If you're going to claim to post news articles with information in them

I don't see where the editors claim that the stories posted on Slashdot are comprehensive news articles. The tagline "News for Nerds" is colloquial at best; nobody ever confuses Slashdot with a "real" news site like CNN. Slashdot has always gotten 99% of its stories from user submissions where they link to other websites. Expecting it to change because you're too lazy to hit Google is absurd.
