o Take-Two Acquires Sega's Visual Concepts, Kush Games for $24 Million

New York -- Video game publisher Take-Two Interactive, developer of the "Grand Theft Auto" franchise, announced on Tuesday that it has acquired two game studios owned by Japan's Sega -- Visual Concepts Entertainment and Kush Games -- for $24 million in cash. Visual Concepts develops Sega's "2K" series of sports video games, including its Major League Baseball titles; yesterday, Take-Two announced an exclusive deal with MLB to publish official baseball video games. Under the deal, Sega will publish 2K and other Take-Two titles in Japan and other Asian markets. "These studios and their unrivaled talent represent a significant addition to Take-Two's internal development capabilities, which are now approaching 1,000 people worldwide," said company president Paul Eibeler. New York-based Take-Two also formed a new publishing label, 2K Games, which will incorporate Visual Concepts and Kush, in addition to Take-Two's Indie Built, Venom Games, PopTop Software and Frog City Software studios.

o Bush's Top Lawyer, Christian Coalition Side with RIAA in File-Sharing Appeal

Washington -- A number of conservative groups, including the Christian Coalition, joined the Bush administration's Solicitor General and the Business Software Alliance in filing "friend of the court" briefs in support of the movie and music industries' appeal of a file-sharing case to the U.S. Supreme Court. The RIAA and MPAA have appealed a landmark ruling, which said providers of file-sharing software cannot be held liable for copyright infringement committed by end-users, to the Supreme Court. While the U.S. Solicitor General admitted that peer-to-peer networks can be used for legitimate purposes, his brief argued that the file-sharing firms being sued in MGM v. Grokster "have built their particular P2P networks around the 'draw' of massive copyright infringement." Conservative groups including the Christian Coalition, Concerned Women for America and Morality in Media -- which are usually railing against indecency in movies and music -- sided with the RIAA and MPAA in their brief, deriding the "untraceable peer-to-peer networks that facilitate crimes against children." A group of technology firms and public interest groups yesterday filed their own brief with the Supreme Court, criticizing the use of file-sharing for copyright infringement while maintaining that outlawing all such technology would stifle innovation. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in MGM v. Grokster on March 29, with a decision expected by the end of July.

Mountain View, Calif. -- Search engine giant Google on Tuesday launched a new service that allows users to search the content of TV programs. The Google Video beta lets users search across the closed captioning content of TV programs from providers including PBS, the NBA, Fox News and C-SPAN. Mounatin View, Calif.-based Google, which began indexing content for the service in December, said features will include a preview page, list of upcoming episodes, search within the show, and the ability to find when a program will air locally according to zip code. For the time being, the free service will not include Google AdWords advertising or playback options. On the same day, rival Yahoo launched a similar service that allows users to search video from providers including Bloomberg TV, BSkyB and the BBC.

o Electronic Arts Completes Tender Offer for Swedish Developer DICE

Redwood City, Calif. -- Video game publisher Electronic Arts announced on Tuesday that it has tendered its final offer to shareholders in its bid to acquire Swedish game developer Digital Illusions CE (DICE), creator of the "Battlefield" franchise. EA already holds about 20% of DICE, but an earlier offer to acquire the remaining shares of the company was rejected by DICE shareholders. The company said that 32% of DICE shareholders now accept its offer, and with another 8.9% of shares it has acquired in the market, it now holds a 59.8% controlling interest in DICE. EA further declared the conditions for its offer have been met, and expects to close the transaction by Jan. 27. Separately, Redwood City, Calif.-based EA on Tuesday shipped its "Oddworld Stranger's Wrath" for Xbox to retailers. The title is the latest in the series developed by San Luis Obispo, Calif.-based Oddworld Inhabitants. EA also said that it will bundle the Super Nintendo title "Super Punch-Out" on its upcoming "Fight Night Round 2" title for Nintendo GameCube.

o Missouri Governor Bans Video Games for Prison Inmates

Jefferson City, Mo. -- Missouri governor Matt Blunt has announced a ban on video games within the state's prisons, labeling them "a luxury that inmates should not be allowed to enjoy," the Associated Press reported. The video game ban, which is also in effect in 47 other states, followed a Dec. 2004 story in The Kansas City Star that revealed inmates were playing violent titles like "Hitman: Contracts." The governor had previously removed 35 violent titles from prisons, but this week expanded the ban to all video games. "Our penitentiaries are punitive institutions where those who have committed crimes against society are sent to pay for their actions. They are not meant to be arcades," said Blunt, in a statement.

o Venture Capital Reverses Three-Year Trend; Rises in 2004

Arlington, Va. -- Venture capitalists reversed a three-year downward trend by investing $20.9 billion into nearly 2,900 deals last year, according to a new report from PricewaterhouseCoopers, Thomson Venture Economics and the National Venture Capital Association. The annual investment level had fallen each year beginning in 2001, culminating in a six-year low of $18.9 billion in 2003. According to the report, the increase in 2004 was due largely to a sharp increase in late-stage investments, from $4.9 billion to $7.2 billion. "The strengthening IPO and acquisitions markets clearly helped fuel late stage financings in 2004," said Mark Heesen, president of the National Venture Capital Association. "Now, as venture capitalists are beginning to invest their new funds, we may well see a shift in focus back to early stage companies in the coming year."
