That reminds me of the South Park episode where that company has there spokesman to tell the parents to, "Fuck off."

More or less, they just told him to mind is own business, in a nice way. I find it funny, myself. I also detect just a hint of smugness in that letter.

 

My guess is he's wanting to "advise" EA on how to use the Take-Two, and more specifically, the Rockstar name. Probably to try to dissolve the GTA series and other Thompsonisms.

 

You know, he should beware. It's one thing to pull in a small company like Rockstar (even though they're famous, they are relatively small) through the courts. But I don't think he wants to tackle the EA dragon. That might prove to be a rather lengthy, difficult, and quite litigious battle. But it might be very, very interesting to watch...

Yup.........the EA juggernaut is a beast to behold.

Heh, I feel like quoting X3: The Last Stand now after what PressureCooker just said.
