Electronic Arts recently went public with their bid to purchase rival game publisher Take 2 Interactive for 2B. This would mark one of the largest purchases in the history of the game industry. But Take 2 executives believe that EA has undervalued the company. CFO Tammy Walker commented, ‘We have a lot of huge titles coming out, and we firmly believe that we can get at least 3C on the open market. Hell, if we play our cards right we can get like D's and E's’

When told that 2B meant 2 billion, Ms Walker replied ‘Dollars? You gotta be shittin’ me.’

Before becoming a top executive at Take 2, Ms Walker was one of the models for the prostitutes in the popular line of Grand Theft Auto games. When asked how a former sex worker became the Chief Financial Officer for a company the size of Take 2 she responded,  ’One day after a ‘meeting’ with the head of the company, he said I could be CFO as long as I promised to destroy a certain videotape’
