Microsoft not in the running to buy Take Two

Posted By: Darksaviour69

There has been a lot of buzz around the tubes, that MS might be interested, or may have made an offer on troubled Take Two, but according to Microsoft's Shame Kim in this CNN article, it's not very likely:


One company that says it's not in the running is Microsoft. Because today's independent publishers are platform agnostic - that is to say, they build games for all major systems - taking over one would result in a massive revenue loss for Microsoft, as all development would be redirected toward the Xbox 360.

"We could never launch an acquisition bid at a third party publisher," said Shane Kim, corporate vice president of Microsoft (Charts) Game Studios.
well the dream was nice while it lasted.
