GAMECOCK MEDIA GROUP

In 2007, Mike Wilson, Rick Stults, and Harry Miller formed the Gamecock Media Group. This video game publishing company was based out of Austin Texas and was founded on the idea that Gamecock Media didn't need to micromanage its developers. Wilson, Stults, and Miller were no strangers to the video game industry. The three had previously worked together to create Gathering of Developers along with Doug Myres and Jim Bloom. G.O.D., as it was usually called, had the same hands-off approach that the... three later brought to the company. However, in 2000, Take Two purchased G.O.D. The founders were not happy with the new management, and after Myres passed away, the three negotiated a release from Take Two. Several years later, the three decided to form Gamecock Media Group to once again offer developers the chance to work without a lot of management. In addition to this approach, they offered to let all independent developers retain all rights to their intellectual property. This meant that the company didn't make as large a profit off material associated with each game, nor could they develop the property into a series themselves. However, it made more developers willing to work with them.More
