Way to go Michael Pachter. Last week during the run up to the rather unexciting May 16 deadline, the Wedbush Morgan analyst suggested Electronic Arts should walk away from the deal (and of course return to scoop up Take-Two after the stock price plummets) but concluded the company was simply too lazy to go through with it.

They'd extend the deadline, yet again, to avoid refiling paperwork because lord knows a company making $3.6 billion in sales can't afford an extra $85,000 filing fee.
