Splinter Cell follows protagonist Sam Fisher, a highly-trained special operative in a fictional black-ops sub-division, “Echelon”.

  • Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: the Case of the Videogame Industry Par Shoma Patnaik
    HEC MONTRÉAL Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: The Case of the Videogame Industry par Shoma Patnaik Sciences de la gestion (Option International Business) Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de maîtrise ès sciences en gestion (M. Sc.) Décembre 2017 © Shoma Patnaik, 2017 Résumé Ce mémoire a pour objectif une analyse des deux tendances très pertinentes dans le milieu du commerce d'aujourd'hui – l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation. L'innovation de rupture (en anglais, « disruptive innovation ») est particulièrement devenue un mot à la mode. Cependant, cela n'est pas assez étudié dans la recherche académique, surtout dans le contexte des affaires internationales. De plus, la théorie de l'innovation de rupture est fréquemment incomprise et mal-appliquée. Ce mémoire vise donc à combler ces lacunes, non seulement en examinant en détail la théorie de l'innovation de rupture, ses antécédents théoriques et ses liens avec l'internationalisation, mais en outre, en situant l'étude dans l'industrie des jeux vidéo, il découvre de nouvelles tendances industrielles et pratiques en examinant le mouvement ascendant des jeux mobiles et jeux en lignes. Le mémoire commence par un dessein des liens entre l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation, sur le fondement que la recherche de nouveaux débouchés est un élément critique dans la théorie de l'innovation de rupture. En formulant des propositions tirées de la littérature académique, je postule que les entreprises « disruptives » auront une vitesse d'internationalisation plus élevée que celle des entreprises traditionnelles. De plus, elles auront plus de facilité à franchir l'obstacle de la distance entre des marchés et pénétreront dans des domaines inconnus et inexploités.

    THE GUERRILLA REVOLUTION IGNITES IN FAR CRY® 6, RELEASING OCTOBER 7, 2021 Embrace the “Resolver” Spirit to Inflict Chaos Against Antón Castillo’s Forces Paris, France — May 28, 2021 — Today, Ubisoft announced Far Cry® 6 will release on October 7 worldwide on Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Stadia, Amazon Luna and for Windows PC exclusively on both the Epic Games Store and the Ubisoft Store. The game will also be available on Ubisoft+*, Ubisoft’s subscription service. Set in Yara, a tropical paradise frozen in time in the heart of the Caribbean, players will experience the adrenaline rush and chaos of guerrilla combat as they join the revolution to liberate Yaran people from the oppressive rule of dictator Antón Castillo and his teenage son Diego – brought to life by Giancarlo Esposito (The Mandalorian, Breaking Bad) and Anthony Gonzalez (Coco). Development for Far Cry 6 is being led by Ubisoft Toronto**. As local Yaran and military dropout Dani Rojas, players will be swept up in the guerrilla movement as the brutality of Antón’s rule reaches new heights and the fire of revolution ignites across the country. Players will be able to choose to play Dani as a woman or a man, and will join forces with a colorful cast of characters, including Clara Garcia, the leader of revolutionary group Libertad, or Juan Cortez, a jaded ex-KGB spy and guerrilla master as they fight their way to take down the tyrant. To succeed against the overwhelming power of Antón’s army, players will embrace the “resolver” spirit, a philosophy of resourcefulness found across Yara, making use of everything and whatever they have to inflict chaos on the regime.

In the past, there was a major barrier to making creative work your day job: fnancial resources. Only those with the biggest wallets (or the biggest wallet behind them) could follow their dream to build, design, and create. But not anymore. New media has changed how we become part of the creative class. If you want to design a board game and sell it, you don’t have to work at Hasbro or Parker Brothers. You can crowdfund the creation and fnd customers online. Do you want to broadcast your stories to a thousand listeners? You don’t have to work your way up the ranks of a radio station. Take to the web and upload a podcast. Creativity is now as simple as what you can make with your own skill and imagination. There are now fewer and fewer gatekeepers. If you can get online you can fnd an audience. The clack of fngers on a keyboard. The sliding of a stylus on a tablet. The click of plastic pieces in a cardboard box. These are the sounds of a new generation. This is how we play and how we create. But mainstream media still treats this revolution like a fad. We’re here to change that. Today we launch a new era in new media, dedicated to the creative minds at work around us.

  • The Case of Ubisoft
    XXVIIe Conférence Internationale de Management Stratégique Processes and socio-material presence in Performing leadership : the case of ubisoft David Massé Télécom ParisTech (i3-SES) [email protected] Thomas Paris CNRS, GREGHEC; HEC Paris & École polytechnique (i3-CRG) [email protected] Heloise Berkowitz CNRS (UMR5303), TSM-Research [email protected] Résumé : How does a leader perform, i.e. shape, her organization? Communicative Constitution of Organizing (CCO) approaches describe leadership either as a combination of microprocesses and influential acts, or as human and nonhuman agency, that give shape to organizations. This paper seeks to bridge the gap between these two approaches to provide a comprehensive understanding of leadership as a necessary coupling of processes and socio-material devices. Based on a longitudinal case study of a video game developer, this paper explores the emergence of a singular leader’s vision. We study the operational translation and deployment of this vision in the organization through three stages of performativity, both successes and failures. We contribute to debates on CCO and leadership by showing the role of translators and trainers in coupling the leader’s vision to its socio-material presence, as well as the importance of device density. Mots-clés : intra-organizational performativity, visionary leadership, creative industries, devices, communication as constitutive of organizations 1 Montpellier, 6-8 juin 2018 XXVIIe Conférence Internationale de Management Stratégique INTRODUCTION How does a leader shape her organization? The recent literature on discursive leadership has shifted its focus from a leader’s abilities such as personality traits or charisma, to her interactions with followers and institutional settings, or her material presence.

  • Ubisoft® Takes Far Cry® to the Stone Age in Far Cry® Primal
    UBISOFT® TAKES FAR CRY® TO THE STONE AGE IN FAR CRY® PRIMAL PARIS — October 6, 2015 — Today, Ubisoft announced the development of Far Cry® Primal, the next exciting chapter in the critically acclaimed Far Cry franchise, set during the savage Stone Age. Far Cry Primal hits shelves worldwide on February 23, 2016 for PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One. The game also will ship for Windows PC in March 2016. Developed by Ubisoft Montréal, in collaboration with Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Shanghai and Ubisoft Kiev, Far Cry Primal is a full-fledged single player experience that will take gamers to 10,000 BC in history to a time when massive beasts like the woolly mammoth and sabretooth tiger ruled the Earth. The award-winning franchise that stormed the tropics and climbed the Himalayas now brings its innovative open world sandbox gameplay to a time when humans were not at the top of the food chain but were fighting to climb it, bringing together massive beasts, breathtaking environments and unpredictable savage encounters. Gamers play as TAKKAR, a seasoned hunter and the last surviving member of his hunting group. Arriving in the majestic and savage land of Oros, players will pursue one single goal; survive in a world where humans are the prey. They will meet a cast of memorable characters who will help them push back and tame the dangers of the wild. Players will journey as the first human to tame the wilderness and rise above extinction. Along the way, they will have to hunt for food, master fire, fend off fierce predators, craft weapons and tools partly from the bones of slain beasts and face off against other tribes to conquer Oros.

I watched the short video five or six times in a row. This was an impressive feat; I had truly awful Internet back then. YouTube had been around for a little over a year. For the first time it was easy to see all the footage coming out of the biggest conference in gaming. I watched the video again for this article. I hadn’t seen it in eight years. Amazingly, it holds up well. The game’s producer, Jade Raymond, narrates as someone off stage controls Altaïr. Back then, the gameplay was stunning. NPCs weren’t cardboard cutouts; they were a living, breathing part of the world.
