  • Symbolic Capital and the Colonisation of Independent Videogame Development
    King of the Indies: Symbolic Capital and the Colonisation of Independent Videogame Development Brendon Szucs Swinburne University of Technology John St Hawthorne VIC 3122 [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper explores the migration of developers between industrial and independent fields of videogames production, and their use of symbolic capital to facilitate this transition. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s field theory as its principle theoretical framework, it presents a case study of Double Fine Productions and Tim Schafer, and the diverse roles they play within the field on independent production. This paper will argue that through the use of symbolic capital, these agents are able to secure dominant positions within the field, and represent a growing colonisation of independent development by the wider industrial, heteronomous field of production. Keywords Symbolic Capital, Field Theory, Colonisation, Pierre Bourdieu, Double Fine, Tim Schafer INTRODUCTION In 2012, videogame developer and Double Fine Productions president, Tim Schafer, launched a public campaign on crowdfunding platform, Kickstarter, to fund the development and distribution of an upcoming adventure game title, Broken Age. Trading heavily on Schafer’s own symbolic capital (Bourdieu 1986) as a known and celebrated veteran in the field of videogames development, the campaign was an unprecedented success for the time, securing over $3.3 million USD in funding for the development of the project. In the years since Broken Age was successfully funded, Double Fine Productions, with Schafer as its most prominent public face, have established a firm foothold within the field of independent videogames development and its surrounding culture. In addition to the successful crowdfunding of two further projects including Massive Chalice (2015) and a sequel to the critically praised Psychonauts (2005), the company has branched out into various key roles in the field.

  • The History of Verizon Communications
    The history of Verizon Communications Verizon Communications Inc., based in New York City and incorporated in Delaware, was formed on June 30, 2000, with the merger of Bell Atlantic Corp. and GTE Corp. Verizon began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the VZ symbol on Monday, July 3, 2000. It also began trading on the NASDAQ exchange under the same symbol on March 10, 2010. The symbol was selected because it uses the two letters of the Verizon logo that graphically portray speed, while also echoing the origin of the company name: veritas, the Latin word connoting certainty and reliability, and horizon, signifying forward-looking and visionary. While Verizon is truly a 21st century company, the mergers that formed Verizon were many years in the making, involving companies with roots that can be traced to the beginnings of the telephone business in the late 19th century. Government regulation largely shaped the evolution of the industry throughout most of the 20th century. Then, with the signing of the Telecommunications Act on February 8, 1996, federal law directed a shift to more market-based policies. This promise of a new competitive marketplace was a driving force behind Verizon’s formation. Verizon’s formation The mergers that formed Verizon were among the largest in U.S. business history, culminating in a definitive merger agreement, dated July 27, 1998, between Bell Atlantic, based in New York City, and GTE, which was in the process of moving its headquarters from Stamford, Conn., to Irving, Texas. GTE and Bell Atlantic had each evolved and grown through years of mergers, acquisitions and divestitures.

In carrying out his duties pursuant to his appointment, the administrator shall act in order to ensure that the interests of creditors are not neglected. When fullfilling the duties specified above, the administrator shall examine the debtor's financial position and, in consultation with the debtor, prepare a plan which sets forth the manner in which the goals of the company reconstruction shall be achieved (reorganisation plan). The plan shall be submitted to the court and the creditors. The main features of a reconstruction can be summarized as follows: • ensure that the cessation of payments is effective and payment management is correct, • maintain required liquidity for the business to prevent value loss, and • find out how the companies can be reorganised and how the creditors’ losses can be repaid.

  • Narrative Patterns in Video Games Narrative Mechanics and Its Rules and Rule Sets
    Narrative Patterns in Video Games Narrative Mechanics and Its Rules and Rule Sets Beat Suter Storytelling in video games can take very different forms and encompass a varie- ty of values. Whether as a small backstory for the game world, as detailed life stories of individual characters or as the dominant narrative of a complex epic, storytelling always has to interlock with game mechanics and the game world in such a way that the player can easily cope with logical interactions. Since a game is a framework of game rules, storytelling does not have a superordinate role, but acts as a game mechanic and is therefore integrated into a set of rules (Suter/Kocher/Bauer 2018: 31). In a role-playing epic (Final Fantasy series) it can be a principal macro mechanism of the game, in a platformer (Super Mario series) it can be one mechanism among many, often formulaically rendered. And in a puzzle game, it may merely serve as an accessory or a decorative frame (Gunpey 1999, Candy Crush Saga 2012). The most exciting game stories are probably those that, rather than just laying out a narrative, rely more on hints and have to be discovered or playfully and actively worked out by the player (Inside 2016, The Last Guardian 2016). But even in a game with a dominant narrative storytelling is often accompa- nied by a second macro mechanic such as exploration or solving puzzles. These second-tier dominant mechanics then serve as the key to building sets of sup- porting micro mechanics. ConseQuently, the narrative is often used as a targeted game mechanism.

  • This Semester, I Plan to Play Psychonauts and Then the Sly Cooper Series (Or As Much of It As I Can Get Through)
    This semester, I plan to play Psychonauts and then the Sly Cooper series (or as much of it as I can get through). I've wanted to try Psychonauts ever since I first heard about it, whereas I didn't know much about the Sly games until I started researching other games in the platformer genre. My list of possible games originally also included Bioshock, War- and/or Starcraft, Heroes of Might and Magic V, and Jade Empire, but as I talked about the choice with others it became clear that I was the most enthusiastic about Psychonauts and the Sly series. My main goal in selecting games was finding ones that I would enjoy playing. I've generally enjoyed the console platformers I've played, so that genre seemed like a good place to start. A bit of background: I have never owned a video game console; my parents reasoned (quite correctly) that if I had one I would spend all my time playing with it. I was limited, then, to occasionally playing bits and pieces of games on my friends' systems. As a result, I've played through the first quarter to third of a variety of platformers--including Jak and Daxter, the second Ratchet and Clank game, Banjo- Kazooie, and Super Mario Sunshine--but have never actually beaten one. In fact, the biggest difficulty in picking games or series in this genre was in finding ones I'd never tried. As the list of platformers I've played might suggest, I'm naturally drawn toward colorful, cartoonish games with a quirky sense of humor; Psychonauts and the Sly games both seem to fit this description perfectly.

    how to download games using game pass pc [SOLVED] Unable to install games with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for PC. I recently purchased Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for PC, but I am having difficulty installing games from either the Xbox app or the Microsoft Store app. I am getting the error '0x803F8001' when attempting to install an app, which occurs immediately after the 'Acquiring License. ' step. I managed to install Sea of Thieves the first day I had Xbox Game Pass, but now if I try to install Forza Horizons 4 or Halo Master Chief Collection it results in the error outlined. Logging in and out Using Xbox app or Microsoft Store app Running wsreset Resetting the Microsoft Store app in Settings > Apps > Microsoft Store > Advanced Options > Reset Reinstall Gaming Services (removed via PowerShell, and reinstalled using Microsoft Store) Repair Xbox app (Settings > Apps > Xbox> Advanced Options > Repair) Swapping to US region (I purchased Game Pass in Ireland, which is the region I usually use) And of course restarting. I'm running Windows 10 Professional on the latest version of Windows (according to Windows update) 1909 (OS build 18363.535). Any help would be greatly appreciated. SOLUTION. I found out the problem, I had recently upgraded my PC and my old configuration was showing up still as a device on my Microsoft account. To get Game Pass working, I had to go to my devices on my Microsoft account, remove my old configuration, then open the Microsoft Store, go to settings and manually enable Offline Permissions. Now my games open again, and I can download Xbox Game Pass games.
