After postponing a shareholder meeting so as to court potential buyers, publisher Take-Two has announced that no deal has been made and the company will proceed with the shareholder meeting Thursday without any company interested in purchasing the controversy-laden publisher.How bad will the meeting be for Take Two? Game Politics predicts that several major stockholders are planning to revolt, CEO Paul Eibeler will be ousted from his position and "T2-hatin' shareholder Jack 'RICO' Thompson may gain access to the microphone and spew his particular brand of vitriol at Eibeler and Take Two management."
Here's a plan: seeing as Thursday's event will be extremely entertaining, why not sell tickets to the event or broadcast the meeting, with advertising, on the internet? There's no perceivable way that the publisher will have an optimistic outcome, so they might as well monetize the entertaining disaster.

One of the few times during the course of a year in which I might find a reason to watch G4.

You'd think that other publishers would be all over their properties, there's no way a better-managed company couldn't take those hot IPs and make mad profit$ off of them
Something smells rotten in Denmark...

Then I'd simply buy Rockstar at a rock bottom price when they're forced to sell their last useful properties off. Lower price, Less chaff.

Any company that takes over T2 takes over all their problems as well.
You don't just get the good parts. Somebody needs to settle those options cases, somebody needs to pay all those outstanding contracts (even the bad ones), somebody needs to deal with all those lawsuits winding their way through the courts.
Obviously, given the ROI, nobody thinks the whole package is worth it.
T2 wasn't talking about selling the GTA series. That'd be idiotic. They were talking about selling the whole company. Like anything else in life, any buyer's going to first ask "why are you selling?" In T2's case, the reasons they're selling are the same reasons no buyer is interested in buying. If T2 is so desperate to unload themselves, why would another company want to own them?
