Take Two has a history of great games coupled with corrupt management. It's almost as if their senior executives learned everything about management from playing Railroad Tycoon (i.e., shameless stock manipulation). That being the case, I'm surprised that it's taken this long for someone to try to buy them out.

Its great that big companies aren't trying to improve themselves anymore... they sort of gave up on that and took the easier approach of just buying good companies.

EA is jealous because the Vivendi-Activision deal made them the second toughest kid on the block now.

"a 64% premium over the firm's share price of around $16 last week."#

"the publisher claims EA's proposal "substantially undervalues" Take-Two"

Deja vu anyone? Look at the Microsoft-Yahoo PR exchange.

Competition is good.

Kind of lame they try to buy Take-Two just to cash in on GTA IV.
