If you have free time, go to this URL to have some fun. Some quote :"People of Taketooine:
We come in peace.
Do not fear us. Join us.
Yes, we shall devour your pathetic little planet, but this is not an act of aggression. It is an act of kindness.
Listen to the words of Lord Riccivader and you will see that we at Evil Acquirers, Inc. are both generous and merciful. You will accept us. You will respect us. Then you will kneel before us.

It's funny, but whoever wrote it has a wonky way of evaluating the worth of that company. Their price has never passed $30, so how the heck is it worth "in excess" of $40/share? EA's offer was already a premium offer that was about as high as their stock has ever been.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 182 ]bids

To my fellow Evil Acquirers:
Friends, do not be perturbed by this acquisition. The inhabitants of Taketooine are simple, uneducated, pond scum, with no understanding of the value of their planet. My minions have spent many hours investigating their natural resources, which include GTA, Bully, Midnight Club, Mafia, Bioshock, Civilization and a small but annoyingly competent sports division. The value of these properties and the workers who develop them is well in excess of $40 per share, yet we are only offering $26!
Even if the rebel leaders demand $33 per share, they will be falling into our trap, undervaluing their assets like the poor moronic peasants we know they are. These fools do not even realize that we need their planet to maintain our dominant position in the universe. It is no secret than the armies of Activision and Blizzard are gathering in the corner of the galaxy, ready to mount an assault on us any day now. We are starving, and we must expand, we must acquire, we must consume, or our enemies will dethrone us. No, my friends, we cannot let that happen. When we open our mighty jaws and devour this tasty morsel of a planet, the final bill, whether it is $26 or $36, will be nothing compared to the benefits it will bring.

I think you shouldn't take ANY information in this parody seriously.
IF the figure is serious (sincerely doubt it), 40$ probably include future expecation (something like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft etc). IF GTA IV can grow more than 50% (compared to GTA3), just like COD4 explode compared to COD3, is the 40$ really, really unconceivable ?
Mind you, I haven't done any analysis on the financial report (balance sheet, Income statement, 12M trailing EPS, future EPS estimate, P/E vs industry etc), but personally, for me, the price of Google stock is way, way more "astounding" compared to any price that game company / publisher might have.
