Won't happen and besides, there's nothing in this article that leads to believe the Microsoft is going to buy R*. It only talks about how a buyout for R* MIGHT happen and gives us no reason at all to believe that Microsoft is going for it.

To be fair the guy at the end does stress that he is speculating...

Hey there i noe is all speculation i hust put it to give everyone something to think about. The dude is just putting facts together that just make the buyout appear possible. anyway like i said berfore im still going to buy GTAIV but i would rather see R8 alive and well rather than dead and struggling

I think even with what Microsoft would pay them to buy them they would be loosing money by not going ps3 as well...and besides if microsoft was going to buy them they wouldnt have wasted time by paying them large enough to have GTA4 the same day as ps3...

Considering how low their parent company has gotten to (at 10.27 off from 27 of the year's high), they sure aren't doing too well after all these after effects of the hot coffee and the oblivion thing.

Yeah well on the other hand selling off the chicken with the golden eggs has never saved a company before.

Well at least with EA you can be sure there won't be any timed exclusives... that's all money lost when you could also be having a simultaneous release on all 25 platforms of the last 10 years, ofcourse using the oldest one as a basis for graphics and content since that's cheaper to port!
