BMG Interactive, originally known as BMG Interactive Entertainment, was the multimedia and new technologies division of BMG Entertainment, itself a subsidiary of the Bertelsmann media empire.

Company

In 1998 BMG Entertainment sold BMG Interactive to Take-Two Interactive, in exchange for 16% of Take Two's stock. At the time, BMG Entertainment was a publisher of UK-based DMA Design's games and owned the intellectual property rights to the likes of Grand Theft Auto. During a subsequent restructure, BMG Interactive effectively became the newly established "top tier" publishing label for Take Two, Rockstar Games.
