The Rockstar label, founded in 1998 by Sam Houser, Terry Donovan, Dan Houser, Jamie King and Gary Foreman, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Take 2 Interactive.
Rockstar is the developer of the popular yet controversial Grand Theft Auto and Midnight Club 2 and has a bright future in the industry in the coming years. The company is now working with Grant Theft Auto 4 and we wouldn’t be surprised if Midnight Club 3 were to make an appearance in the near future.
