Naughty Dog Naughty Dog, LLC (formerly known as JAM Software, Inc. before renaming in 1989) is an American first-party video game developer based in Santa Monica, California. Founded by Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin in 1984 as an independent developer, the studio was acquired by Sony Computer Entertainment in 2001. Gavin and Rubin produced a sequence of progressively more successful games, including "Rings of Power" and "Way of the Warrior" in the early 1990s. The latter—a very low-budget but still plausible offering—prompted Universal Interactive Studios to sign the duo to a three-title contract and fund the expansion of the company.
