As if you thought EA wouldn’t strike again, it hits you right when you don’t expect it. The buzz is that the largest GTA fan forum central was bought by EA on 3/22/08 for approximately $3.4 million dollars. Whether or not it is true, one thing is for sure. EA was definitely interested. Is there any official confirmation? Not a lick. Apparently, EA is trying to focus the GTA fanbase to their company before their potential buyout of publisher Take 2 Interactive, the main parent holder of Rockstar Games.

Hit the jump for the filling.
