Rockstar Games

Based in New York City, Rockstar Games has made a name for itself in the gaming world by publishing such popular titles as the Red Dead and Grand Theft Auto franchises. The company was created as a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive in the late 1990s, and has since gained several of its own subsidiary companies in different cities around the US. Founding of the company include Dan and Sam Ho, formally from BMG Interactive, as well as Gary Foreman and Terry Donovan.
