Rockstar are functionally independent iirc

As for the buy-out – I basically have the same opinion about this as I do for all mergers and acquisitions – as long as 2K are willing to let Illusion to do what they want, with the support it needs, I have no problem with it

PS: Mafia 2 FTW. Having Illusion Softworks and some of the same folks from GTA at Rockstar under one large roof can only be a good thing IMHO. Mafia’s ‘borrowed’ gameverse concept gains legitimacy along with the combined experience of the original as everyone makes a second stab at what was a superb game.

PPS: I’d like to see RPS interview Sam and Dan, touching on Mafia 2.

2K: The Czech of it?

At some point, the guys are just going to set up a new website just for creating puns. And like sheep we will all flock there, and try desperately. But fail fantastically.
