New York
- Viacom is not in talks to acquire "Grand Theft Auto" game publisher
Take-Two Interactive, Reuters reported, citing a source familiar with the
matter, despite various online reports that Viacom was going to make an offer
of $1.5 billion for the company.
Viacom declined to comment for the Reuters
story, while a Take-Two representative said the company does not comment on
rumors.
The media conglomerate, which owns Paramount Pictures and MTV Networks,
said last year it plans to invest $500 million in video games, and acquired
"Rock Band" developer Harmonix in 2006.
Viacom executive chairman
Sumner Redstone also holds a majority stake in publisher Midway Games.
