Yup ...
Rumor has it (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=137422) that Realtime may have secured the APB license not only to distribute it as they wish, but possibly to re-package it and sell it to Rockstar as GTA Online. Thus far, Realtime has downplayed the whole idea of an APB re-sell, but did confirm that one reason for their recent APB acquisition was "to look for another partner; someone else who may well be interested and have the infrastructure [to support it]." Interesting stuff. Seeing that GTAIV (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/gtaiv) is all the hawtness right now and from what we've seen (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/02/22/gdc08-realtime-worlds-mmo-darling-all-points-bulletin/) of APB, a re-worked GTA Online MMO may not be all that bad of an idea. But only time will tell.
