Why do publishers think they can siply buy ideas instead of fostering them? Take 2 is so sucessful becuase the games it makes are original, passionately made and GOOD. If another corporate culture was to invade them it would kill what made them sucessful in the first place with simple name-mining and restircyions of 'risky' projects like any form of new IP.
Lets take a look at 2K's IP creation from 2007; Bioshock, Red-Dead Redemption, L.A noir. Three big hitters in four years. Lets take a look at Activision; **Crickets**
Red Dead Redemption was not a new IP. And Activision? Prototype says hello. Thanks for playing though.

I think we're forgetting another big evil who could make a grasp: Ubisoft.
True, but I also can't help but picture Ubisoft as too stupid to even try it. They're too busy rushing crap out for Nintendo platforms and wondering why such unpolished, bland games don't sell well to do anything competent.
But yeah, if Ubisoft did buy Take Two, that'd be pretty much as bad as EA or Activision.
Everyone should just leave Take Two alone.
