Electronic Arts have outbid Take-Two in a race for Codemasters

In a turn of events, the DiRT developer Codemasters is going to be acquired by Electronic Arts for $1.2 billions, instead of Take-Two Interactive. 

A month ago it all looked like a sealed job between the GTA parent company, and Dirt and F1 series studio's parent company Codemasters Group Holdings, with the agreed price of $994 for the acquisition.

But, Electronic Arts have jumped in with a better offer, and the agreement was made between the two companies. The acquisition is anticipated to be completed in the first quarter of calendar 2021.
