It's mission statement included letting indie developers retain complete control over their projects, IP, marketing and other decisions.
The company ended up getting acquired outright by Creator/TakeTwoInteractive in May 2000, and the ownership has severly bungled their principles for treatment of developers and IP ownership. Take-Two would later close down the Dallas office in August 2001 and eventually fold the entire label into Global Star Software by 2004.
