Rockstar North Ltd.
Overview
Rockstar North, formally DMA Design, has been part of the Rockstar Games family of companies since September 1999 when it was acquired by the parent company Take 2 Interactive Inc. Having establishing its Studio in large spacious premises located in the heart of Edingburgh's Leith district, the company is proud to have developed the phenomenally successful Grand Theft Auto 3, for PlayStation®2. At Rockstar North we work very closely with our publishing arm Rockstar Games based in New York City and Grand Theft Auto 3 is testament to the intensely creative and complimentary relationship which exists between our two companies.

Trivia
The name DMA was originally taken from the Amiga programming manuals simply because it sounded cool and did not actually mean anything. The initials were later 'retrofitted' so that they briefly stood for Direct Mind Access, a play on the computer term Direct Memory Access, before finally standing for Doesn't Mean Anything, thus making official the playful notion that they were indeed meaningless.
