Analyst: EA disrespectful to Take2 and Rockstar

Janco Partners' Mike Hickey stated that EA's John Riccitiello calling Electronic Arts the "white knight" for Rockstar is complete bullshit. Yup, he used that word when speaking to gamedaily

"My belief is Rockstar would be perfectly happy if EA never put a bid in at all. White knight commentary is total bullsh*t, and disrespectful to both the developers at TTWO and the new management team that has already achieved success,"
He's not the only one being quite sceptical towards EA though. DFC Intelligence's David Cole as well as Wedbush Morgan Securities' Michael Pachter tend to agree:

"I would think with how successful the GTA games have been the issue hasn't been getting them to a wider audience. The issue is really more about shareholder value and whether EA is a white knight for Take-Two shareholders by offering to pay them the maximum value they feel they can get,"

" 'White Knight' usually signifies rescue from a hostile suitor (the connotation is to a damsel in distress). I think Riccitiello's use of the term was incorrect, and perhaps a misplaced attempt to sound clever. They are in no sense a White Knight."
Personally I find it very funny that Riccitiello believes EA is the key for Rockstar to reach a wider audience. Like the Grand Theft Auto series is only sold to a small number of hardcore gamers...
