The New York Post bragte i går en historie, som mere end antyder, at den ellers så pacifistiske U2 forsanger – Bono – og tidligere Electronic Arts’ chef – John Riccitiello – nu har øjnet muligheden for at købe Take Two Interactive. Begge er en del af bestyrelsen hos investeringsfirmaet Elevation Partners, som i slutningen af 2004 købte BioWare og Pandamic Studios. Elevation Partners ejer også en stor del af britiske Eidos Interactive.
Bono’s private-equity firm Elevation Partners is rumored to be eyeing a bid for troubled video-game company Take-Two Interactive — developer of the popular “Grand Theft Auto” series. A potential deal could be worth more than $1 billion, including debt.
Elevation is said to have teamed up with Pequot Capital, a hedge fund and venture capital investor that owns a large chunk of Take-Two’s shares
