Activision Signs Multi-Year Agreement with Legendary Game Designer Peter Molyneux
Activision Signs Multi-Year Agreement with Legendary Game Designer Peter Molyneux Santa Monica, CA - March 4, 2003 - Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) announced today that the company has signed an agreement with legendary U.K.- based game designer Peter Molyneux. Under the terms of the agreement, the company has secured the exclusive worldwide rights to Molyneux's new project tentatively titled The Movies for the PC and all video game console platforms. The agreement also grants Activision the option to publish sequels and add-on products to the title. The Movies currently is being developed by Molyneux's Lionhead Studios, whose last title, Black and White, sold almost 2 million units worldwide. Black and White topped PC sell-through charts around the globe and was a #1 best-selling game in the United Kingdom and Germany. Slated for release in 2004, The Movies gives gamers the opportunity to run their own Hollywood movie studio from the silent days of the 1920s, through the advent of new technologies into the present and beyond. The game puts players in charge of a Hollywood dream factory where they decide which movies to make and the stars to make them. The player selects the scripts, directors, sets and movie stars before shooting the action and watching their finished movie on opening night. Players can manage the money, egos, tears & tantrums on their way to living the Hollywood dream. "Peter is undoubtedly one of the most talented video game designers in the world, and Lionhead is one of the very few development studios with the knowledge and resources to develop a game that will allow players to fulfill the fantasy of building a movie empire," states Larry Goldberg, executive vice president of Activision Worldwide Studios. -

Beyond the Board: Findings from the Field
Beyond the Board: Findings from the Field By Zoë B. Corwin, Tattiya Maruco, Neftalie Williams, Robert Reichardt, Maria Romero-Morales, Christine Rocha, and Constanza Astiazaran Photo credit: Maxim Mosclo (Cover) TABLE OF CONTENTS I: Why this study? 3 II: Where do the data come from? 4 • National Survey 5 • Case Studies 9 III: What do the data tell us about skateboarders? 11 • Mental and Physical Health 12 • Relationships and Community 13 • Race and Gender 16 • Skills 20 IV: Reflections and Recommendations 27 2 WHY THIS STUDY? The narrative around skateboarding is changing. Educational and cultural institutions are beginning to engage with skateboarding in new ways. Skateboard-focused non-profits, after-school programs, and summer camps are rapidly developing. Skateboarding is at the forefront of style and taste-making in popular culture. With the 2020 Olympics on the horizon, we expect even greater attention directed toward skateboarding and skateboarders (skaters). At the same time, skaters still thrive – and sometimes prefer to function – on the margins of mainstream society. Despite growing visibility and popularity, negative misconceptions regarding skateboarding persist. Unfavorable stereotypes affect resource allocation for skaters and impact the treatment they receive from non-skaters. Skaters are often not considered by municipalities, and educational and cultural institutions in the same manner as their other constituents. This report centers skaters’ perspectives with the intention of changing the way the broader community views skateboarding and the skateboarding community. Data highlight the value young people derive from skateboarding and the resources they believe would be helpful in their lives. The study is unique due to the: (1) focus on everyday skaters, (2) consideration of race and gender, (3) its national scope, and (4) the rigorous research methods employed. -

AD: So do you have any questions for me before we begin? JT: I’m sure I’ll have some later, but alright, go ahead. AD: It’s November 9th 2016, 10AM. So what is your current job title? JT: I am president and co-founder of Robomodo, a video game development house in Chicago. AD: Alright. So I know earlier you got into arcades, do you still spend time in arcades? JT: Believe it or not, yeah. The arcades that I’m at nowadays mostly are these family fun center type places, because I have kids, so you’ve got these Dave & Buster's type places. So I guess they’re called arcades, but recently I have been hanging out more at some of these barcades popping up lately, they’re basically craft beer and classic arcade machines. Then there’s an arcade out in Brookfield called the Galloping Ghost Arcade, and I’ve been there a lot because I’ve been shooting my documentary there. I believe it’s actually the largest arcade in the world, I think they have over 400 arcade machines there. -
