Crime might not pay in the real world, but in the gaming universe it means big money for Take-Two Interactive Software. The company's popular mature-rated Grand Theft Auto series of games is developed by subsidiary Rockstar Games. The 2K Games subsidiary is home to the Railroad Tycoon franchise, as well as Sid Meier's Pirates and Civilization, while 2K Sports focuses primarily on sports titles branded with the ESPN name. The company's games are for use with PCs, as well as with Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft game consoles. In early 2008 Electronic Arts made an unsolicited offer to acquire the company for about $2 billion; Take-Two rejected the bid as inadequate.
