Rockstar acquires Mad Doc
Rockstar Games announced to day it has created a new studio through the acquisition of Mad Doc Software.
Mad Doc has worked together with Rockstar in the past, on Bully: The Scholarship edition, so the developers of GTA knew what they were buying. Founded in 1999 by doctor Ian Lane Davis, Mad Doc Software was most famous for its work on Empire Earth II, but it has also developed and provided contracting services for many other popular titles.
“The team at Mad Doc Software is extremely talented,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “Bringing them within the Rockstar Games family will enhance our core technology and further support our commitment to creating progressive and innovative gaming experiences.”
Dr. Davis, now leader of Rockstar New England, had this to say: “To be a part of Rockstar Games is an amazing opportunity for everyone here. We’re eager to bring our expertise to bear in the character-driven, open-world stories that make Rockstar Games titles so uniquely compelling.”
