Will GTA be destroyed by Electronic Arts??

So we all know that Electronic Arts attempted to buyout Take 2 Interactive but it never happened. What if it did happen, would Grand Theft Auto under EA be as good as GTA has been in the past?

I mean look at what they did to Command and Conquer when they took over Westwood Studios, they pretty much destroyed the series when EA brought us Command and Conquer Generals, it just wasn’t the same. What Grand Theft Auto IV is good at is the fact that it has that GTA touch to it, Rockstar kept the same concept and idea, but just made it next-gen.

We all feared that if EA took over Take 2 they would destroy GTA forever just like they have done with takeovers in the past. I think that EA would have completely destroyed GTA by trying to make it ’their’ game and just lose that GTA touch altogether. It wouldn’t be GTA at all. No one can do it as good as Rockstar.

We no longer need to worry because it hasn’t happened and Take 2 has rejected all of EA’s offers.

What’s your view on this? Do you think EA had the potential to destroy the GTA series by making it ‘their’ game?
