Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (aka Take-Two or [=Take2=]) is a video game holding company headquartered in UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity. Its two major publishing labels are Rockstar Games (best known for ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' and ''VideoGame/MaxPayne'') and 2K Games (with studios behind the ''VideoGame/BioShock'' series and ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}}''). Many of their games are skewed toward older teens and adult gamers, and the levels of violence in some of them have generated [[RatedMForMoney no shortage of controversy]] (including the attention of former attorney [[MoralGuardians Jack Thompson]], who has been the company's most visible and vocal critic ever since the release of ''GTA III'').

Prior to their buyout of Visual Concepts (and the 2K name), Take-Two operated the Global Star Software banner (which they acquired in 1999). By 2007, Global Star was folded into 2K Play after Take-Two announced a partnership with Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}.

2K in particular is a great example of VindicatedByHistory. It is the successor to the Creator/{{Sega}} development studio Visual Concepts, which developed the insanely popular ''VideoGame/NBA2K'' series. One of the biggest games on the Platform/{{Dreamcast}}, it was one of Sega's first titles as a third-party developer, and eventually ''defeated [[Creator/ElectronicArts EA Sports]] in the basketball video game department''.
