"There are very strong rumours amongst people at a very senior level within the global business," a senior executive, presumably from Activision, told MCV.
"[There're] not much more than that at the moment – they are just rumours," says MCV's source. "And, of course, given Activision's news this week, everyone is now looking to see what their next move is. But you can definitely put two and two together and make four-ish."
Back in 2008, publishing giant Electronic Arts tried to buy out Take-Two for way more money than the company was actually worth. It didn't succeed.
Activision may have a better chance now, however, as it was rumored last year that billionaire shareholder Carl Icahn was preparing the company for acquisition. Icahn also engineered the removal of the members of Take-Two's board including former CEO Ben Feder earlier the same year.

A yearly GTA sounds awful, and with Activision the game would be completely broken and unplayable like their Call of Duty shits.

I bet they are still pissed off when Ghostbusters the video game sold really well and they had a crack at publishing it but declined for fucking Guitar Hero shit.
Activision has become the new EA, EA is starting to redeem themselves with games such as Dead Space.

Take Two did pretty well for itself game-wise. However with the laid-off coming.... I can only say they will either disappear like other game studios or merge with another publisher.

Sorry, but everything this man touches turns to s***.

although I was looking forward to true crimes...at least let the company release the game... I was so glad to see another one then they pulled the rug out from under me. The only thing I see if they grab GTA is better graphics seeing as how rockstar cant make character model's to save their ass... Nor they screwed their driving engine in GTAIV up all the cars drive on ice.. high end or not also everything drives like a hummer bulky and well...undrivable.. thats all im saying... oh and btw Saints row is better..
