From CLG Wiki
Background: 2K is a wholly owned subsidiary and the publishing brand of Take-Two Interactive. It was formed in 2005 in a second effort of concern several internal studios into one brand (the first was Rockstar). The company was born after Take-Two bought Visual Concepts from Sega for $24 million, and it became core for 2K Sports label. Some studios were changed names, as they went into 2K label, such as 2K Boston, Australia, Marin, West, China and Czech.
