The Race for Codemasters Continues - EA Join the Fight

The epic around the purchase of the Codemasters studio continues. Only Take-Two was preparing to part with $ 1 billion for joining the developers of DiRT, when EA stepped in.

The American corporation is ready to offer Codemasters $ 1.2 billion. It looks like the race developers are ready to agree: the deal should be completed in the first quarter of 2021.

In the government of Codemasters, the idea of merging with another large company is approved. They note that the company's global goals are the same, and therefore a merger is an excellent option. In addition, Take-Two, which had practically bought Codemasters earlier, offered part of the amount in securities. Subsequently, this could significantly distort the overall picture.

However, the owners of Rockstar Games and 2K are not going to give up. According to media reports, Take-Two is already preparing an official response and a new proposal.
