Take Two Gets Irrational

Report Take-Two Acquires Irrational Games on Gamasutra is an unconfirmed report suggesting that Irrational Games has been acquired by Take-Two Interactive (thanks Frans). Here's a bit:

According to unconfirmed reports from employees of developer Irrational Games, the company has been acquired by U.S. publisher Take-Two Interactive. The two companies have already been working in close conjunction, with Take-Two registering the trademark for and agreeing to publish Irrational’s forthcoming game BioShock.

Update: We have been able to confirm this news with Take-Two, who say an official announcement is forthcoming.

Ugh, as the warcraft 2 orc peon says "Work Work!"

Yes, I will agree that Irrational does seem to be making good games, and that T:V seems to stick out rather large from the rest of their titles, so it seems likely that VU (already a piece of shit publisher of the highest degree) was mostly to blame for the game being that shitty.

That said, that still doesn't excuse the netcode.

But hey, at least they're getting more money, so hopefully we can get one or possibly two top titles out of them before they fall by the mediocre wayside, like every other dev before them who got swallowed up.

As long as Bioshock is fun, it's all good. I don't care what they do after that.
