  • THE HOOT Volume 1 October 2017 the Trip of a Lifetime by Elizabeth Mcgowan
    THE HOOT Volume 1 October 2017 The Trip Of A Lifetime By Elizabeth McGowan Timberlane gives many opportunities to students throughout the year. They give opportunities to go to shows, to get scholarships, and even to travel. This past summer one of these trips gave six Timberlane students the opportunity of a lifetime. On June 26th 2017, six Timberlane High School students and one chaperone boarded the airplane that brought them to Tanzania, Africa for 10 days, and these 10 days were days that they would never forget. However, the students preparation for this trip began long before June 26th. With a new country comes new diseases. In Tanzania there are many different diseases and viruses that you can contract that are very rare to get in the United States. For example, diseases and viruses such as malaria, hepatitis a, and typhoid are all much more common in Tanzania. Therefore, before going to Africa the students on the trip had to get the hepatitis a, and typhoid vac- cine, as well as take a malaria pill when they were on the trip. Tanzania, Africa is a very different place than the United States is. For example, in the United States you can rarely walk down the street without seeing someone in shorts, or a tight shirt. Howev- er, in Tanzania they are required to wear pants and it is looked down upon if you choose to wear tight clothing. Therefore, the students attending this trip packed solely pants, and loose shirts for the trip.

  • Strategic Differentiation in the Global Video Gaming Industry
    RESEARCH ASSOCIATION for R A I S INTERDISCIPLINARY AUGUST 2019 STUDIES DOI:10.5281/zenodo.3386110 Electronic Arts: Strategic Differentiation in the Global Video Gaming Industry Thomas Teeter1, Dr. Ryan Lunsford2 1DBA Student, University of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio, TX, USA, [email protected] 2 Professor, University of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio, TX, USA, [email protected] ABSTRACT: Electronic Arts Incorporated (EA) is a leading global developer of video game software with FY2018 revenues in excess of $5B. And although the organization has demonstrated innovative leadership in the industry for many years and has an established portfolio of “hit” game titles, industry trends have created an increasingly competitive environment. Digital game distribution, for example, has dramatically reduced the cost of product delivery, but has also negated a previous barrier to entry for new competitors. In a $36B industry that has been completely reshaped by digital content and distribution, EA seeks to better engage and retain players via digital capabilities. This case study analyzes EA’s differentiated competitive strategy founded on three pillars: Player-First, Commitment to Digital, and One EA. Each of these strategic focuses has a direct connection to trends in the transforming video game industry, as the company seeks to expand its player base across platforms, geographies, and business models. Together, these highlight the path for the company to operate more efficiently, create more engaging products and services, and develop increased customer loyalty towards EA games. KEYWORDS: Electronic Arts Inc., digital content, video games, strategy Introduction Since its founding in 1982, Electronic Arts Inc. (EA) has grown to become one of the most profitable video game software developers and publishers in the world, posting revenues of $5.1 billion for the fiscal year 2018.

  • An Investigation of Monetization Strategies in Aaa Video Games
    Master Thesis MSc in Management of Innovation and Business Development AN INVESTIGATION OF MONETIZATION STRATEGIES IN AAA VIDEO GAMES By Mariusz Patryk Diaczok & Patrick Tronier Supervisor: Just Pedersen Date of submission: 14th of May 2019 Character count / number of pages: 270.395 / 119 Abstract The AAA video game industry has recently been associated with multiple controversies and community outrages, most commonly attributed to aggressive monetization strategies. Due to the rapid evolution of the industry in question, the body of academic literature is quite lacking, especially with regard to developments that are more recent. The authors gathered research investigating the impact of a number of factors, related to the most prevalent monetization strategies, on the games themselves, and combine these insights, in order to create a foundation for a holistic theory of these relationships. A qualitative study, in the form of a literature review, was undertaken to explore the various factors impacted by the chosen monetization strategy. In addition, a quantitative study was conducted to investigate how the choice of monetization strategy affects the rating scores given by critics and consumers. These studies add to the understanding of how a chosen strategy can affect the consumer perception of the game, which is directly related to the generated revenue. Furthermore, the literature review provides a rough outline for the interaction between consumer purchase motivations, purchase incentives implemented into the games and their effectiveness.

  • Spotlight: Gambling, Children and Video Games: Is It Time to Lock the Loot Box and Throw Away the Key?
    Oireachtas Library & Research Service | Bill Digest Spotlight Gambling, Children and Video Games Is it time to lock the loot box and throw away the key? No. 1 of 2020 Daniel Hurley BL, Parliamentary Researcher, Law Abstract 20 February 2020 This Spotlight examines issues surrounding the regulation of in-game purchases through ‘loot boxes’. The widespread emergence of loot box mechanics in video games has given rise to concerns that children are being exposed to addictive practices that bear strong similarities to gambling. This paper provides a comprehensive examination of loot boxes and considers whether as part of the updating of Ireland’s gambling laws, legislative intervention is needed to address this relatively novel concept.

  • Video Game Business Management Economics: Employing Industry-Level Data to Improve the Decision-Making Process
    博士論文 Video Game Business Management Economics: Employing Industry-Level Data to Improve the Decision-Making Process BAILEY, Eric Nelson 主指導教員 宮田 一乘 北陸先端科学技術大学院大学 先端科学技術研究科 [知識科学] 令和 2 年 6 月 i Abstract Current research into video game business management is sparse. What research does exist focuses on the creative process of video game development; however the business side can longer be neglected, with individual game development project budgets in excess of US $100 million in some cases. Business management decisions are made by publishers and developers based on their tacit knowledge of what has worked in the past according to their experience; however, left unverified there is a risk that this tacit knowledge may not reflect rapidly changing market realities. Managerial economics is concerned with the optimization of the decision-making process given limited resources, and such a rational decision-making process is required if publishers and developers want to ensure that the knowledge their organizations contain best reflects the reality of the wider industry. Through this research, I will rely on a managerial economics perspective and use knowledge discovery in database (KDD) techniques to answer the following questions: MRQ: How can an economic perspective that views decision optimization in terms of making the best use of limited organizational resources allow for the use of data from the wider industry to question assumptions and improve video game business management decision processes? SRQ1: What is the state of intellectual
