Paramount Wants in the Game

Need more proof that everyone wants a piece of the videogame business?

Today, news comes from MCV that Paramount, the blockbuster film company, has an eye on interactive entertainment. Here's my question: why wouldn't Paramount be interested? The future is going to be all about convergence between film/tv/web/gaming properties, and that means motherships like Paramount need to touch down on planet Game.
