OCT. 3 | FROM VARIETY: Take-Two is staying solo.

Take-Two previously said it was in discussions with numerous companies about a potential purchase of Take-Two or a partnership pact.

Electronic Arts was the only company to go public with a bid, however. Its seven-month public pursuit of Take-Two ended last month after EA declined to raise its $2 billion bid.
