Mill o’ Rumour Follow-Up: False Alarm. Microsoft NOT Buying Take-Two

by JW

Take Two FTSale

Ok, earlier I mentioned in the good ol’ “Mill o’ Rumour” that one of the perspective buyers may be Microsoft. Well, CNNMoney has now confirmed that Microsoft… isn’t.

Bummer.

One perspective buyer who may be trying to get their wrinkled, old, Grim Reaper hands on Take-Two is Rupert Murdoch’s Newscorp. The idea of Take-Two and Fox News under the same umbrella frightens me. But I digress.

But to repeat: Microsoft NOT in the running for Take-Two.
