Zelnick was also quoted as saying that "The Board is committed to maximizing stockholder value and continues to explore all strategic alternatives, including a business combination with third parties, remaining independent, or other strategic or financial alternatives. We have received expressions of interest from a number of interested parties and look forward to beginning formal discussions following the launch of Grand Theft Auto IV". It seems that the new Electronic Arts offer stands an even lower chance of success than the last one and Strauss Zelnick appears to be hinting at other offers that could be made for Take Two at a higher price. We're pretty much speculating here, but who do you think also has an interest in Take Two? My money is on the soon to be Activision Blizzard.
