I believe EA lowballed them, which caused TTI to reject the offer.
At any rate, I'm mixed if Microsoft does this. I would rather them buy out a *better* developer. TT's portfolio, outside of GTA, and Bioshock isn't that great (however, they do have Fraxis)... $2.5b is a ton of cash just for 1 big franchise, with a lot of smaller ones around it. TTI has very few franchises that hit 1m unit sales, so I wouldn't think it'd be a good move.
But the amount of fanboy tears in this thread is hilarious! Rationale seems to go out the window when your favorite franchise could get bought out!
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
