That's right the owners of the Grand Theft Auto franchise.
US video game giant Electronic Arts has made an unsolicited $1.9bn (£968m) offer for the owner of Grand Theft Auto, Take-Two Interactive Software.
Take-Two immediately rejected the offer, which was 50% higher than its closing price on Friday.
Its management said that EA was trying to pick up the company cheaply ahead of April's release of Grand Theft Auto IV.

What do you guys think of this news? I think it's bad new if EA get their hands on the GTA series myself. EA are one of the big boys in the video games industry but I think they'll ruin it if they take it over. It hasn't happened yet though so there's still hope.
