  • How the Top 5 Games Companies Went Global
    White paper How the Top 5 Games Companies Went Global Alpha St Andrew’s House St Andrew’s Road Every company had to start somewhere. Some were founded by a well-respected Cambridge CB4 1DL businessman or businesswoman and received a raft of initial investment. Others started United Kingdom out in somebody’s garage, and yet have still ended up dominating their market globally. @thisisalphalive In fact, there is a surprising correlation between the garage-start-up company and the names that have become global giants. That list includes Amazon, Apple, Disney and Google, and there are many more started in a one-person office. thisisalpha.com The question of how these companies have built from such small beginnings to positions of global dominance is a significant one. Other businesses at differing stages are keen to emulate them. There are, of course, many factors underlying such success. Great product is one; great business strategy another. But that isn’t enough to get you across continents. Successful global expansion comes down to effective localisation, and the top five global players can tell us a lot about undertaking the process correctly. The Best of the Best Let’s take the top five firms in the Games sector. It’s worth differentiating between the pure games developers or publishers and those who also provide hardware or other software, such as Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft. Much of the latter firms’ revenue comes from these other sources, so the top five games firms we will look at are the pure publishers and developers whose revenue is the highest.

The shrine celebrated its establishment in 1920 with various inaugural events held on and around November 3. The date designated as Meiji Shrine’s annual feast day was November 3, Emperor Meiji’s birthday. One and a half million people are said to have visited the shrine to participate in these events. Figure 1. The inner precinct today (Meiji Shrine Archives). This paper explores two questions: Firstly, how and by whom were the celebrations determined? Secondly, how were these newly formulated ways of celebration in the newly constructed space of Meiji Shrine understood by the people of the day? My purpose is to clarify the process(es) through which celebratory performances became institutionalized, and to explore the dynamic aspects of the operation and acceptance of those Figure 2. The spatial structure of Meiji Shrine, 1926 (Meiji performances. Shrine Archives). One important fact that often goes unexamined is that the space of Meiji Shrine consists of various components parts.

    Case: 17-20334 Document: 00514482390 Page: 1 Date Filed: 05/22/2018 IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit No. 17-20334 FILED May 22, 2018 VIACOM INTERNATIONAL, INCORPORATED, Lyle W. Cayce Clerk Plaintiff–Appellee, v. IJR CAPITAL INVESTMENTS, L.L.C., Defendant–Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and OWEN, Circuit Judges. PRISCILLA R. OWEN, Circuit Judge: Viacom International, Inc. (Viacom) sued IJR Capital Investments, L.L.C. (IJR) for infringing on its common law trademark of The Krusty Krab— a fictional restaurant in the popular “SpongeBob SquarePants” animated television series—after IJR took steps to open seafood restaurants using the same name. The district court granted summary judgment to Viacom on its trademark infringement and unfair competition claims. IJR appeals, asserting that Viacom does not have a valid trademark for The Krusty Krab and that its seafood restaurants would not create a likelihood of confusion between the two marks. We affirm the judgment of the district court. Case: 17-20334 Document: 00514482390 Page: 2 Date Filed: 05/22/2018 No. 17-20334 I In 1999, Viacom launched the animated television series “SpongeBob SquarePants” on its Nickelodeon network. The show revolves around SpongeBob SquarePants, a sea sponge that wears square shorts, lives in an underwater pineapple, and works at the fictional The Krusty Krab restaurant as a fry cook with an array of characters including a cranky co-worker and the owner of The Krusty Krab. The show has become the most-watched animated television series for 15 consecutive years, with over 73 million viewers in the second quarter of 2016 alone.

  • The Mobile Suit Gundam Franchise
    The Mobile Suit Gundam Franchise: a Case Study of Transmedia Storytelling Practices and the Role of Digital Games in Japan Akinori (Aki) Nakamura College of Image Arts and Sciences, Ritsumeikan University 56-1 Toji-in Kitamachi, Kita-ku, Kyoto 603-8577 [email protected] Susana Tosca Department of Arts and Communication, Roskilde University Universitetsvej 1, P.O. Box 260 DK-4000 Roskildess line 1 [email protected] ABSTRACT The present study looks at the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise and the role of digital games from the conceptual frameworks of transmedia storytelling and the Japanese media mix. We offer a historical account of the development of “the Mobile Suit Gundam” series from a producer´s perspective and show how a combination of convergent and divergent strategies contributed to the success of the series, with a special focus on games. Our case can show some insight into underdeveloped aspects of the theory of transmedial storytelling and the Japanese media mix. Keywords Transmedia Storytelling, Media mix, Intellectual Property, Business Strategy INTRODUCTION The idea of transmediality is now more relevant than ever in the context of media production. Strong recognizable IPs take for example more and more space in the movie box office, and even the Producers Guild of America ratified a new title “transmedia producer” in 2010 1. This trend is by no means unique to the movie industry, as we also detect similar patterns in other media like television, documentaries, comics, games, publishing, music, journalism or sports, in diverse national and transnational contexts (Freeman & Gambarato, 2018). However, transmedia strategies do not always manage to successfully engage their intended audiences; as the problematic reception of a number of works can demonstrate.
