Why Activision Should Buy Take-Two

With Activision killing Guitar Hero, True Crime and others and doubling down on Call of Duty and Blizzard titles, it's clear that the publisher could benefit from some more great IP. Although Activision does have a 10-year deal with Bungie, ultimately that's Bungie's IP to keep. The best way for the cash rich company to gain more properties, of course, is through acquisition. Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia argues that Activision would do quite well to pick up Take-Two.

because I hate activision.

Also, im sure the people at T2 would not be happy when Kotex keeps their bonuses for himself and fires them.

donniebaseball5559d ago

Ha. Yeah, but looking strictly at business it does totally make sense for Activision.

NYC_Gamer5559d ago

i dislike activision,but this move makes perfect sense from the business stand point

Seraphemz5559d ago

Yeah...totally agree with you!

UnwanteDreamz5559d ago

Activision just closed another development studio the other day. If Take 2 wants to be on the chopping block then its a great move.

NYC_Gamer5559d ago (Edited 5559d ago )

T2, has way more established franchises than the ones activision,closed down.millions of people buy titles from T2 owned studios.

Tony-Red-Grave5559d ago

Would you like for the gaming industry to be RUINED? That would be the absolute worst thing that could have to the gaming industry right now. Take-Two has a wonderful amount of great IPs and I would not want to see those ruined by koticks money hungry BS.

NYC_Gamer5559d ago (Edited 5559d ago )

every industry is about expanding and making profit.this move wouldn't ruin nothing for the many shareholders it would increase their wealth.this gaming business is no hobby for the corporate suits its just another window to collect $$$ from...

Klepto5559d ago

Yeah it would increase a load of rich assholes wealth but fuck over every developer for T2. So yes this would be an awful thing.

NeloAnjelo5559d ago

How about why Activision should die a slow painful death?

dbjj120885559d ago

Please God, don't let this happen.

Raptura5559d ago

Fuck that, I don't want an annual GTA.

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
