  • Video Games and the Mobilization of Anxiety and Desire
    PLAYING THE CRISIS: VIDEO GAMES AND THE MOBILIZATION OF ANXIETY AND DESIRE BY ROBERT MEJIA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Kent A. Ono, Chair Professor John Nerone Professor Clifford Christians Professor Robert A. Brookey, Northern Illinois University ABSTRACT This is a critical cultural and political economic analysis of the video game as an engine of global anxiety and desire. Attempting to move beyond conventional studies of the video game as a thing-in-itself, relatively self-contained as a textual, ludic, or even technological (in the narrow sense of the word) phenomenon, I propose that gaming has come to operate as an epistemological imperative that extends beyond the site of gaming in itself. Play and pleasure have come to affect sites of culture and the structural formation of various populations beyond those conceived of as belonging to conventional gaming populations: the workplace, consumer experiences, education, warfare, and even the practice of politics itself, amongst other domains. Indeed, the central claim of this dissertation is that the video game operates with the same political and cultural gravity as that ascribed to the prison by Michel Foucault. That is, just as the prison operated as the discursive site wherein the disciplinary imaginary was honed, so too does digital play operate as that discursive site wherein the ludic imperative has emerged. To make this claim, I have had to move beyond the conventional theoretical frameworks utilized in the analysis of video games.

  • 2021 Proxy Statement 1 Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders
    Letter from our CEO and Incoming Board Chair Dear Fellow Stockholders, We hope that you and your families are well. During our fiscal year 2021, we navigated through the largest public health crisis of the last 100 years. We also participated in a number of important cultural conversations in our world. Through many challenges, we’re proud of how Electronic Arts delivered for our employees, players, communities, and stockholders in fiscal 2021, and positioned ourselves for continued growth and impact in the years ahead. We Executed our Strategic Priorities While Supporting our People Our management team acted swiftly and decisively through the year with a focus on the health and well-being of our workforce. Early in the pandemic, we directed our teams to work from home, suspended travel, and adopted new digital collaboration tools. Internal teams were formed to manage the response, we increased the frequency of our communications and employee surveys, and rolled out temporary benefit programs supporting our people and their families. While prioritizing the safety and wellbeing of our global workforce, we continued to execute against our strategic pillars. We launched 13 major games, including many that were supported by robust live services, and led the way with innovative games for a new generation of consoles. We added tens of millions of new players to our global network, and we scaled our subscription offering to new platforms. We also completed three acquisitions to complement our strategy and contribute to future growth. In delivering these achievements, we significantly exceeded our initial revenue, net bookings, and operating cash flow guidance for the fiscal year.

  • 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.
