La distribution spécialisée de jeux et jouets s’interroge sur son avenir. Fondé sur les codes anciens du commerce physique, son modèle doit être repensé pour répondre aux nouvelles attentes des consommateurs, sans renier pour autant les forces qui ont fait son succès. Les enseignes agissent pour asseoir leur ancrage local tout en investissant la sphère numérique. Les réseaux continuent de se développer. Les formats s’ajustent. Le multicanal s’impose. Face à la guerre des prix instaurée par les pure players de l’e-commerce et les grandes surfaces alimen- taires (GSA), il s’agit pour le circuit spécialisé de miser sur ses qualités propres pour faire la différence.

  • The Ideal Princess, the Perfect Woman
    Jones 1 Sara Jones Professor Nichole Bogarosh Women’s Studies Independent Study April 15, 2016 The Ideal Princess, the Perfect Woman The fictional princess character has been portrayed differently throughout many periods within cultures and the narrative has changed tremendously. The folklore model followed generations of repetitive stories that provided lessons, often moral, of do and do not to youth, which gave way to current royal character ideals of beauty, youth and knowledge formed and pedigreed within animation and film narratives. This paper examines current cultural expressions of the princess character contrasting idealized fictional models from mainstream films and other media forms to authentic royal ideals, emphasizing true royal princess models and characteristics versus illusory roles, and consistency of these roles within the ideal princess archetype and ideology despite narrative. For the purpose of this study the focus will be on mainstream film portrayals of Disney princess characters, Star Wars Princess Leia, and actual true royalty—Her Royal Highness, Catherine Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, and Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales. The illusionary model of the princess image morphs throughout culture, but changes very little in character narrative. This is especially noticeable in the Disney princess model; when we think of princess we imagine pink, big dresses, crowns, pretty and perfect features, with youth and innocence. By 1934, Walt Disney and his team were beginning to dream the possibility of a feature length animated film into being [The Goddess of Spring, was released on November 3, Jones 2 1934]…he wanted his forthcoming feature film’s narrative to be drawn from…stories he was raised on and with which he knew his audience would be most familiar.

  • 2013 Global Game Industry Survey
    2013 Global Game Industry Survey Yehuda Berlinger PurplePawn.com April 18, 2014 [email protected] © Copyright 2014, Yehuda Berlinger 2013 Global Game Industry Survey 1 Executive Summary This report contains the results of a survey of tabletop game companies in March 2014. The companies surveyed are companies that make money by means of traditional and modern tabletop games, which are games that are not sports (ball games, yard games, billiards, bar, and similar games) and not video games (console, PC, mobile, and handheld electronic games). I collected information from nearly 300 companies from over 20 countries and from 40 US states. Of those companies that didn’t close, the overwhelming majority are doing fine or better than last year. 13% report doing worse than last year (down 2% from last year’s survey); this percentage doesn’t take into account companies that closed. More than half of responding publishers use, or plan to use, a crowdfunding source such as Kickstarter to publish their games. Among responding retailers, Hasbro’s Magic: the Gathering CCG, Game Workshops’ Warhammer miniatures and rules, Mayfair Games’ Catan board and card games, and Paizo’s Pathfinder RPG products were at the top again this year, as they have been for the last three years. Rio Grande Games’ Dominion games sales dropped; its place in the top five was taken by Konami’s perennially popular Yu-Gi-Oh CCG. Pathfinder products outperformed Wizards of the Coasts’ Dungeons & Dragons products by 2.5 to 1 – even more than last year – while players wait for D&D 5th edition to be released later this year1.
