Rockstar Games

Rockstar Games is an American video game publisher based in New York City, set up in December 1998 as a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive. It was formed from assets Take-Two had bought from the dormant British publisher BMG Interactive, and its founders were Terry Donovan, Gary Foreman, Dan and Sam Houser and Jamie King, with Sam Houser as president. The company publishes mostly action-adventure games and some racing games, and its best known series are Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead, Max Payne, Midnight Club and Manhunt. Studios that Take-Two bought or created over the years have been folded into it and carry the Rockstar name. Its work is a main reason the video game medium is now measured against film and television for audience and revenue.
