The grand jury subpoenas of Take-Two might not be the only legal troubles the publisher faces: they might be sent to Oz.
Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter is waving his hands around to shoo off investors after the subpoenas.
We note that grand jury subpoenas are founded in criminal investigations... As such, we believe that it is likely that one or more Take-Two employees may be subject to a potential criminal indictment.
Intriguing. You'd think that video game publishers couldn't be indicted for failure to subscribe to a voluntary ratings system, but luckily, someone's thinking of the children. Isn't it interesting, though, that employees of a games publisher can face criminal indictment for including hidden scenes in a game that are far tamer than the ones pornographers film and sell with impugnity? And can someone explain to me how a kid walking in and buying a copy of Grand Theft Auto is more corrupting than them walking into a bookstore and buying a volume by everyone's favorite "I punched her in the stomach, then fucked her" novelist, Henry Miller?
No need to answer that rhetorical questions: these punk kids today would never be caught dead reading a book.
