No it doesn't; that doesn't even make sense. Rockstar isn't Take-Two. Rockstar is a developer, not a publisher. This has no effect on EA's desire (or ability) to take over Take-Two and the GTA IP whatsoever.

Funny because I could have swore that Rockstar was a subsidiary of Take Two. If they bought Take Two they buy Rockstar basically.
