Gathering Of Developers




Fueled by a strong dislike of the way giant publishers treated their developers, Gathering was established as an understanding publisher: not rushing release dates and allowing developers to produce their games as they pleased. However, Gathering did not last long as an independent publisher, and were bought by Take 2 shorty after their creation, in 1999 . When Take Two acquired Gathering they also purchased PopTop Software , the developer of Tropico . Gathering's other studios remained independent.

Take Two continued to let Gathering run as a fairly autonomous label (much like their other label, Rockstar Games ), publishing most of Take 2's non-budget PC games. Eventually Take 2 took over all operations of Gathering, and have since rebranded the PC-centric label 2K Games .

During the gaming trade event E3 , Gathering was known for being extremely extravagant; they were also notorious for their use of 'booth babes'.
