TDK Mediactive

TDK Mediactive was formed in 2000 following the purchase of Sound Source Interactive by Japanese electronics company TDK. In 2003, the company was purchased by Take-Two Interactive and renamed to Take-Two Licensing; it was then shuttered shortly after the formation of 2K Games, Take-Two's main publishing label, in 2005.
