Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 (edited) The media giant Viacom (CBS, Paramount, MTV etc.) has declared that it wants toenter the gaming industry and would like to buy a distributor! And Viacom does not buy cheap crap, no, they want EA. But get EA isn't for sale unless Viacom can spit out of the wallet 20 BILLION U.S. DOLLARS!! A gigantic price even for Viacom.They have turned their sights on Activision which is about 3 billion or on Take Two whichis below 2 billion bucks!! In other news, today is my 48th dad's birthday!!

Xeon Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 i dont want ID software to be bought. theyre one of the few companies that tries to make sure they release good, if not great games. consequently this means i dont want Raven Software to be bought as well. oh and happy youthful 48 to your dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gryph Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 (edited) Is today your 48th dad's birthday? Or your dad's 48th birthday? If its the first, you've gone through a lot of dads. And who wasn't expecting this? Its was only a matter of time before ALL entertainment companies wanted in since the video game industry grosses more than the motion picture industry... As long as Viacom doesn't impose strict guidlines on developers and make them conform, I don't think it really matters. It'll just be a new logo on the box next to developer, producer, and publisher. And does Activision own Id software? No. Atleast I don't think so. They just have publishing and distributing agreements with them, a very profitable I must add. Friends of Id Software Activision is on it as a business partner. And Intel isn't on that list! HHAHAHAAH! And AMD is! AHAHA! pwn3d!

OverlordMondo Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 So many fathers, when's your next dad's birthday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Ok, so axl put the words a little wrong, give it a rest already. I thought that Viacom was already in the gaming business (although that ws a long time ago).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
