Take-Two is now the largest public independent pure-play video game publisher, as EA went private today after being sold to Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund for $55 billion.
Ironically, EA offered to buy Take-Two for $2 billion in 2008 right before the GTA 4 launch, but Strauss Zelnick and the board of directors rejected the offer.
