Global Star Software was a Canadian video game publisher based in Mississauga.[1] It was founded in 1995 by Craig McGauley and Damian Cristiani and operated alongside their Triad Distributors, which had been founded in 1993.[1][2] Both companies were acquired by Take-Two Interactive on 1 September 1999.[2] When the "2K Play" label was added to Take-Two's 2K label on 10 September 2007, 2K absorbed all of Global Star's assets.[3]
