A meeting between the Titans This seems very risky, but considering the large movement of internal restructuring carried out in recent days by Activision Blizzard, with the closure of projects, teams and the consequent dismissal of several employees, you'd think that the publisher is trying to make space economically and logistically, to something coming.
According to a senior executive of Activision, who spoke directly with MCV, while keeping their identity hidden, there are "persistent rumors among the people at the level sernior in the company, particularly in global business," which will give rise to concerns Activision to acquire Take-Two as a whole.
"I'm obviously just a rumor," says the anonymous source, "of course, given the recent news in Activision, but everyone is waiting for what the next move and if you do two plus two is easy to arrive at a conclusion." It would not be the first time that Activision implementing such a move: the acquisition of Vivendi in 2008 led to the mega-conglomerate Activision Blizzard, but the acquisition of Take Two would probably be something more substantial, taking with them, of course, subsidiaries 2K and Rockstar that from a video game is almost an empire in terms of sales and known IP.
Become in effect a giant of truly hard to bear for the competitors, including EA. On the other hand, we must first of all see if Take-Two not agree with any proposal: Electronic Arts a few years ago he tried the maneuver acquisition publisher offering even more than its true market value but it was still not accepted .
