  • Reload and Relaunch: Strategic Governance of Platform Ecosystems
    RELOAD AND RELAUNCH: STRATEGIC GOVERNANCE OF PLATFORM ECOSYSTEMS JOOST RIETVELD [email protected] Rotterdam School of Management Erasmus University Burgemeester Oudlaan 50 3062 PA Rotterdam Netherlands MELISSA A. SCHILLING [email protected] New York University 40 West 4th Street New York, NY 10012 CRISTIANO BELLAVITIS [email protected] Higher School of Economics National Research University 33, Kirpichnaya str. Moscow, 105187 Russia Paper Submitted to: Platform Strategy Research Symposium 2016 This version: March 22, 2016 RELOAD AND RELAUNCH: STRATEGIC GOVERNANCE OF PLATFORM ECOSYSTEMS Abstract Platform owners have a number of strategic levers for managing the value of their ecosystems. However, they must use them carefully: how and by whom that value is captured is shaped by the competitive dynamics between the producers of complementary goods and the platform itself. We begin by developing a framework of value creation and value capture in platform markets. This framework yields a number of implications for whether and when a platform owner should selectively promote individual complements. We test our arguments on data from seventh generation video game sales, assessing both how games are selected for promotion, and how promotion affects subsequent sales performance. We find that platform owners do not simply promote “best in class” complements; they strategically invest in underappreciated games where there is greater marginal value to be unlocked, and with whom the platform may have greater bargaining power. We also find important temporal effects. Keywords: Platform-based markets; ecosystems, complementors; value creation; value capture; video games. 1 1. INTRODUCTION Many products are only valuable and desirable when used with complementary goods or services (e.g., software for computers, fuel and service for automobiles) (Schilling, 2009).

  • The Journey of a Hero: Musical Evocations of the Hero's Experience in the Legend of Zelda Jillian Wyatt in Fulfillment Of
    The Journey of a Hero: Musical Evocations of the Hero’s Experience in The Legend of Zelda Jillian Wyatt In fulfillment of M.M. in Music Theory Supervised by Dr. Benjamin Graf, Dr Graham Hunt, and Micah Hayes May 2019 The University of Texas at Arlington ii ABSTRACT Jillian Wyatt: The Journey of a Hero Musical Evocations of the Hero’s Experience in The Legend of Zelda Under the supervision of Dr. Graham Hunt The research in this study explores concepts in the music from select games in The Legend of Zelda franchise. The paper utilizes topic theory and Schenkerian analysis to form connections between concepts such as adventure in the overworld, the fight or flight response in an enemy encounter, lament at the loss of a companion, and heroism by overcoming evil. This thesis identifies and discusses how Koji Kondo’s compositions evoke these concepts, and briefly questions the reasoning. The musical excerpts consist of (but are not limited to): The Great Sea (Windwaker; adventure), Ganondorf Battle (Ocarina of Time; fight or flight), Midna’s Lament (Twilight Princess; lament), and Hyrule Field (Twilight Princess; heroism). The article aims to encourage readers to explore music of different genres and acknowledge that conventional analysis tools prove useful to video game music. Additionally, the results in this study find patterns in Koji Kondo’s work such as (to identify a select few) modal mixture, military topic, and lament bass to perpetuate an in-game concept. The most significant aspect of this study suggests that the music in The Legend of Zelda reflects in-game ideas and pushes a musical concept to correspond with what happens on screen while in gameplay.

  • The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD I Adore Snowpeak
    The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Play Journal Entries Stagger Lanayru79 03/13/2016 2:10 PM I adore Snowpeak Ruins, but I think I said enough about it on the log of my first playthrough. I'll pick up part two of a more story oriented journal here, right-handed blue-hearted style ... WARNING: Unmarked spoilers will appear in the comments. It's been so long since I came to the cannon tutorial room before having the Ball and Chain. Heh. E Yeah! e 29 r 102 D Advertisement Share this Post 1 Tweet 2 Share Embed Comment Stagger 03/13/2016 2:30 PM I concluded my last post discussing how crafty Ashei and Yeto's roles were in getting here, disarming the battle w/ a snow beast notion. Yeta's transformation into Blizetta is the payoff. It's a gorgeous fight in HD, and the creepy organ work suits it perfectly. So is this King Zora's mansion? I just noticed that the goat portraiture is from inside the house, but pictures of the City in the Sky? E Yeah! e 2 D Stagger 03/13/2016 3:02 PM Boy, not visiting Telma's Bar at all really rips the drama out of the dialogue w/ Rusl. Continuing from my last post, while the second leg of the Mirror shard segment doesn't directly involve Link's charges in Kakariko, it does involve Colin's father. Sustained effort to maintain the initial heroic motivation hanging by a thread ... but in tact. What is he talking about btw? ToT = Sealed Temple..

  • Use of Progressive Rock in David Wise's Soundtrack for Donkey Kong
    Use of Progressive Rock in David Wise’s Soundtrack for Donkey Kong Country and the Advancement of Video Game Music Brooke Spencer Professor Stephanie Lind MUSC501 3 March 2019 Introduction In 1994, Nintendo released the Super Nintendo game: Donkey Kong Country (DKC)– resulting in widespread popularity and new innovative use of music in gameplay. Through the utilization of prog-rock in David Wise’s soundtrack for DKC, Nintendo has expanded its range of musical styles, function, and status as a top contending videogame company. The use of prog-rock can be broken down in David Wise’s three pieces: “Treetop Rock”, “Fear Factory”, and “Aquatic Ambience”. Through elements of prog-rock seen in each of these pieces - harmonic prolongation, fragmentation, distortion, and use of the concept ‘meta- chord’ – we can see that DKC’s music was unlike anything Nintendo had been creating previously, and set expectations for music in videogames to come. History Starting in 1977-78, the video game industry began to rise in popularity through arcades. In the 1960s/1970s when first-generation home consoles were created, sound was not a possibility. It was only when Pong was released on the Atari home console in 1975 that sounds were used deliberately: the game had 3 different sounds coinciding with actions on screen: the ball hitting the wall, the paddle, and a sound for player failure. Most games included sound in future releases to increase profits after Pong’s success.1 By the end of the 70s, arcades were growing in popularity, with Nintendo a primary arcade console producer.

  • Complete-Famicom-Game-List.Pdf
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Ultimate Famicom Software Guide -- version 1.0 -- Created by fcgamer, fcgamer26 [at] gmail [dot] com https://fcgamer.wordpress.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION / AUTHOR'S NOTE: When I first started collecting Famicom games, over three years ago, I had decided to chase after a complete set of the unlicensed software developed for the Famicom. I chose this goal partially because of my location, but also because it was a collection that few people had ever bothered to collect. Aside from a few deleted webpages available through archive.org and the incomplete sources at Famicom World and BootlegGames Wiki, there just wasn't much to go on. Hundreds of hours of searching through auctions around the globe, chatting with other collectors, and just going out and tracking down this obscure corner of Famicom collecting, and I had ended up compiling my own personal list to help aid with my own collecting goals. Since those modest times, the scope of my personal collection has evolved into collecting everything Famicom, from Russian translations to educational cartridges, to official game packs and promos as well. As such, the documents which I use to keep track of my collection / game wants also evolved, and I felt it was time to compile it into a more user-friendly document. Likewise, I would like to offer this document as a gift to all of my collecting buddies out there, who have helped sell / trade / gift me so many carts over the past three years. My collection wouldn't be where it is today without you guys, and without all of the interesting discussions about Famicom, I probably would have also lost interest by now if I were to go at it truly solo.
