Indie Built

Indie Built, Inc. (formerly Access Software, Inc.) was an American video game developer based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The company was founded in October 1982 by Bruce Carver and Chris Jones. On April 19, 1999, Access Software was acquired by Microsoft for an undisclosed sum, and was renamed Salt Lake Games Studio. In 2003, Microsoft transition Salt Like Games Studio into their Microsoft Game Studios division, where it was renamed Indie Studios. Also in 2003, Carver left Indie Studios to pursue new interests. He later died from cancer on December 28, 2005.

Following financial issues at Microsoft Game Studios, Indie Studios was announced to have been acquired by Take-Two Interactive on December 16, 2004, and was renamed Indie Built. On January 25, 2005, Take-Two Interactive announced the opening of publishing label 2K Sports, which would henceforth manage their development studios for sports games, including Indie Built. On May 1, 2006, 2K Sports announced that they had closed down Indie Built. The move was reasoned by poor financial results from Take-Two Interactive's preceding fiscal year.
