How come nobody is talking about take two buying codemasters?

Impressed they lasted this long tbh. 34 years on their own. They were never THE studio for the best racing games. Just hit and miss. The odd times they published games outside of racing was often terrible. Bullet Witch. Overlord on Wii. Bodycount. Some others were at least mediocre. Codemasters is a poster boy studio you expected to go out in the 7th gen or get bought by EA or 2K a decade ago.
