Take Two's Board Ousted by Shareholders 32
Some would view it as vaguely ironic that, on the same day that the GTA IV trailer makes its debut, the Take-Two board is finally ousted in the culmination of a nasty inter-corporate feud. CNN's Chris Morris reports on the latest development in the company's saga: "The accounting and ethical quagmires that have bogged down the company for the past few years are likely to disappear. And Take-Two will almost certainly become a leaner company, shedding divisions and canceling games ... The arrival of a new board may also ratchet down the public scrutiny of the company a few notches - but that respite from the spotlight's glare might not last as long as they would like. You see, the thing that makes this game maker different from the rest of the industry is its rebellious streak. It's something that drives opponents insane and causes mass migraines in the boardroom, but without it, Take-Two wouldn't be the force it is today."

Well not exactly. I think he implied that the Lord Thy God was going to make something happen -- that He would looseth his terrible judgment and smiteth them down in His righteous fury.

I think that was pre-emptively done last week or so ... seems he was prognosticaing their imminent demise and already saying he was the one who would be causing it.
:-P
You can probably count on some smug public statement from him real soon now.

The most normal, law-abiding citizen is going to ocassionally fantasize about being "evil", or taking a baseball bat to their neighbor's face after he played movies on his surround sound system so loudly, that your floor was vibrating until 3a

Why do game companies have other companies(er, divisions in this case) do a sequel, only to disappoint? The same thing happened with Carmageddon TDR, which
