The Don Stephen Company

Background: TDSC was formed by Don F. Stephen in 1995 and sold to Titan Holdings in 1997. AGS inherited TDSC after the merger with Titan and let it autonomous. The consolidation of all studios in February 2010 didn't affected TDSC, since AGS now has only 30% of the company, while other 50% are held by Stephen's heirs and 20% by Tom Murray.
