'''GT Interactive Software''' was the interactive division of [[GoodTimes Entertainment|'''G'''ood'''T'''imes Entertainment]]. It was established in February 1993 by the Cayre brothers (the owners of GoodTimes) with the help of Ron Chaimowitz. The company was notable for both their budget titles, as well as being the first game publisher to allow developers to retain their IP. GT would later acquire WizardWorks, FormGen, [[Humongous Entertainment]], and the European division of [[Time Warner Interactive]]. In December 1999, following the departure of Ron Chaimowitz and 35% of employees from the company, GT Interactive was purchased by [[Infogrames]] (which became [[Atari SA|Atari]] in 2003) and integrated in May 2000. | '''GT Interactive Software''' was the interactive division of [[GoodTimes Entertainment|'''G'''ood'''T'''imes Entertainment]].
