When it comes to video games, most people can name their favorite titles and instantly burst into an excited endorsement about why they love them so much. From sports to adventure to strategy games, gaming publishers work hard to make sure their users take that excitement off the screens and into the real world.

Gaming publisher 2K is doing exactly that. Located in the San Francisco area, 2K develops and publishes interactive entertainment for PC, console and mobile platforms; its most popular franchises include Mafia, NBA 2K, PGA Tour 2K and WWE 2K.
