Activision Eyes Takeover of Grand Theft Auto Publisher: "A wild, but not impossible rumor suggests that publishing giant and 'Call of Duty' publisher Activision may have its eyes set on a hostile takeover of 'Grand Theft Auto' publisher Take-Two Interactive.

If the rumor proves true and the bid is successful, Activision would effectively become the largest studio in the game industry, dwarfing Electronic Arts with the acquisition of 'Grand Theft Auto', 'Bioshock', 'Duke Nukem' and a multitude of other titles as additions to its own 'Warcraft', 'Call of Duty' and 'Diablo' franchises."
