    ANALISIANALISI DELLADELLA CRESCITACRESCITA DIDI SOCIETÀSOCIETÀ DI GAMINGGAMING ATTRAVERSOATTRAVERSO LALA LETTURALETTURA DEIDEI BILANCI TESI DI LAUREA DI GUGLIELMO CALAMIA PACINI TESI DI LAUREA DI GUGLIELMO CALAMIA PACINI MATRICOLAMATRICOLA 212111 212111 INTRODUZIONE L’oggetto della tesi di questo saggio è analizzare alcune delle più note aziende dell’industria dell’intrattenimento videoludico. Si partirà con delle breve esposizioni della loro storia, i pe- riodi di crescita più significativi e l’analisi dei titoli chiave del loro successo degli ultimi dieci anni dal 2011 al 2019; le so- cietà prese sono la EA Sports o Electronic Arts Inc., la Ubisoft Entertainment SA e la Nintendo Co. Ltd. Su ognuna di esse verrà analizzata, tramite la lettura dei loro documenti di bilancio, la loro evoluzione anche collegando a questi dati numerici le informazioni relativi all’immissione dei prodotti chiave nel mercato e le loro conseguenze nei pe- riodi successivi. Una volta esposte tutte le imprese, ci prodigheremo alla for- mulazione di ipotesi sul loro futuro. 3 DESCRIZIONE DEL MERCATO L’incredibile successo di questo mercato dell’intrattenimento è frutto di un continuo sviluppo tecnologico iniziato in America a partire dalla fine degli anni ’40 ma arrivando alla prima di- stribuzione globale di prodotti videoludici solo nel 1961. Fu tuttavia a metà degli anni ’60 (1966) che fu introdotto uno degli strumenti principali del successo videoludico nonché elemento chiave per molte imprese neo-entranti, l’introduzio- ne della prima console. Dall’introduzione di quel primo modello, molte altre imprese hanno tentato di ottenere il controllo del mercato delle console e a oggi solo tre imprese detengono il controllo: la Sony, con la PlayStation; la Microsoft con l’XboX e infine la Nintendo con i suoi GameBoy, Wii e più recentemente Nintendo Switch (tra l’altro la EA e Ubisoft distribuiscono i loro prodotti console pro- prio su PlayStation e XboX e Switch).

Arkanoid), volanti (giochi di corse), pistole (es. Duck Hunt) potrebbero non essere controllabili con joystick, ma richiedono periferiche ad hoc, al momento non configurabili. - I giochi che richiedono controller analogici (Playstation, Nintendo 64, etc etc) potrebbero non essere controllabili con plance a levetta singola, ma richiedono, appunto, un joypad con analogici (venduto separatamente). - Questo elenco è relativo alla scheda NEW PLATINUM EDITION basata su Raspberry Pi4. - Gli emulatori di sistemi 3D (Playstation, Nintendo64, Dreamcast) e PC (Amiga, Commodore) sono presenti SOLO nella NEW PLATINUM Pi4 e non sulle versioni Pi3 Plus e Gold. - Gli emulatori Atomiswave, Sega Naomi (Virtua Tennis, Virtua Striker, etc.) sono presenti SOLO nelle schede Pi4. - La versione PLUS Pi3B+ emula solo 550 titoli ARCADE, generati casualmente al momento dell'acquisto e non modificabile.

Scott Miller (Apogee/3d Realms): … you can buy coins (hence, pay-to-win) to reduce the number of mindless play-throughs that end in unavoidable failure. The Supercell games fall into the same category. Pay to win refers to games that are purposely designed to encourage monetary investment to propel the player to greater success. George Broussard (Apogee/3D Realms) When you see "pay to win" just realize it means many things: - pay to win - the dev is milking you of $ by putting up paywalls - the game design is incentivized to milk you of money. Pay to Win is imo, just a generic phrase to indicate paywalls now. It's been adopted by the masses, so that's how it is now. Unknown: Making the game suck unless I spend money.

  • Settler Stories
    9/24/2015 M/C Journal Settler Stories: Representational Ideologies in Computer Strategy Gaming Nick Caldwell Respond To This Article Volume 3 Issue 5 Oct, 2000 1 The computer game is perhaps the fastest growing and most quickly evolving cultural leisure technology in the western world. Invented as a form just under 40 years ago with the creation of Space War at MIT, computer and video games collectively account for hundreds of billions of dollars in sales across the world. And yet critical analysis of this cultural form is still in its infancy. Perhaps the sheer speed of the development of games may account for this. Thirty years ago, strategy games were screens of text instructions and a prompt where you could type a weather forecast. Today pretty much all games are flawlessly shaded and rendered polygons. The technology of film has barely changed at all in the same period. In any case, the critical study of games began in the eighties. The focus initially was on the psychology of the gamer. Most game players were children and teenagers during this period, and the focussing of their leisure time on this new and strange computer technology became a source of extreme moral panic for educators, parents and researchers alike. Later, research into the cultures of gaming would become more nuanced, and begin to detail the semiotics and narrative structures of games. It is in that kind of frame that this article is positioned. I want to look closely at a particular strategy game series, The Settlers. 2 Firstly, however, a description of the strategy game genre.
