Take-Two for sale?

Posted on Monday, 19 March 2007 by AlterEgo, source: CNN.com
Take Two Interactive, owner of Rockstar - creator of, amongst others, Grand Theft Auto, could be up for sale.

This was announced as a reaction to a shareholdergroup wanting to take over and remove CEO Paul Eibeler.

Not suprising: their competitors are of course willing to buy the company, but very suprising is that the not so obvious are also keeping an eye on this development and have their wallets in hand:

As for potential buyers, the list is long. Game publishers UbiSoft and Activision have reportedly explored a possible bid in the past. Elevation Partners, the venture capital group whose members include U2 front man Bono, is a possibility as well. And Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. has also been mentioned regularly as a possible suitor.
