videogames have influenced entertainment and the way the people lives over the last decades” was written with the objective of letting people know the great history and influence video games has had since the year they first appeared, influencing the way people think and seek out means of entertainment The author chose to work around this topic because he wanted to analyze the different ways video games can have influence, especially when it comes to small children whose minds are more susceptible to this kind influence, and how they can be not only a way of entertainment but a way of earning a living When it comes other investigations about this topic there have been a lot of different experiments surrounding how video game can improve a child perception and way of doing all kind of stuff compared with children who haven’t been exposed to video games This topic affects especially young people, that's why this study was principally meant for high school students, because in their current age they are more familiarized with this king of games and trends of virtual entertainment, and the method for gathering intel and opinions was through a poll given to student of sixth

Many of these poses a story, but there are some like one of the first video games that ever existed ¨Tennis for two¨ which doesn´t possesses any kind of established history, that are like many people say ¨pure gameplay¨. Origin and evolution: Many people have argued about which was the first videogame, most of the time this occurs because of the different definitions of video games they have that make them consider different games as the first one. It is possible to consider to be the first one a game called ¨Nought and crosses¨ also known as ¨OXO¨, this game created by Alexander Douglas in 1952 was a computerized copy of Three in Stripes allowing the player to play against a pre-programed CPU 4 Another possible candidate is the game ¨Tennis for Two¨ which was the first video game that made possible a match between two players through two very basic controllers with one joystick and a couple of bottons. In 1966 Ralph Baer, Albert Maricon and Ted Dabney started developing together a project of video game called Fox and Hounds that soon evolved to become the Magnavox Odyssey, that, in 1972 became the first domestic system of video games allowing to play several pre-programed games. The 80’s began with a strong growth in the sector of the video game, during these years there were a lot of systems which stood out, like Oddyssey 2, Intellivision, Colecovision, Atari 5200, Commodore 64, Turbografx. And at the same time games like Pacman, Battle Zone and Tron became very popular among the recreational machines Japan bet for the world of the consoles with the success of the Famicom or NES, thrown by Nintendo in 1983. The year 1985 was marked by the appearance of Super Mario Bros Which brought with it a huge change in the way video games were developed, since the majority of the previous games only contained a few screens which repeated themselves in a curl and the aim simply was to obtain a high punctuation. The game developed by Nintendo was the first game that gave the player an

We hope to contribute towards a better understanding of how players’ perception and evaluation of a game are influenced by their cultural background. Applying a grounded theory approach, we conducted a qualitative content analysis of articles from German video game websites, user comments, written in response to these articles, as well as Japanese and German user reviews from the respective Amazon online stores and Steam. Focusing on the reception of three Japanese RPGs, our findings show that considerable differences exist in how various elements of the games are perceived. We also briefly discuss certain lexical differences in the way players write about games, indicating fundamental differences in how Japanese and German players talk (and think) about games.

  • 2003 Special 301 Report People’S Republic of China
    INTERNATIONAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ALLIANCE 2003 SPECIAL 301 REPORT PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Special 301 recommendation: With piracy losses at a staggering $1.85 billion in 2002, piracy rates continuing at over 90% across all copyright industries, and with no significant movement to enforce the criminal law against piracy as required by TRIPS, IIPA recommends that China remain subject to Section 306 Monitoring. Overview of key problems in China: More than one year following China’s WTO accession, piracy rates in China remain among the highest in the world. While enforcement actions throughout China continue, the apparent unwillingness of the Chinese government at the highest levels to take the actions necessary to reduce these rates, continues to be the cause of the greatest concern, particularly the failure to date to provide a truly deterrent enforcement system by imposing criminal penalties against pirates and by significantly increasing administrative fines for acts of piracy. Piracy by both unlicensed and licensed optical disc factories continues to flood the domestic market with pirate music, movies, videogames, books, and business software, making it very difficult for local Chinese creators and U.S. right holders to build viable businesses in China. Exports have diminished to a trickle, but pirate Chinese optical disc (OD) product has been found in Hong Kong, Russia and Vietnam. Piracy at the wholesale and retail level, and over the Internet, remains rampant, even though provincial and central government authorities, as well as Customs with respect to pirate imports, have undertaken numerous raids and massive seizures. The lack of deterrence in the system, the uncoordinated enforcement activities throughout China, the lack of transparency, and continued local protectionism are the primary causes of China’s inability to reduce piracy rates.

    The Cultural Aspect of Video Game Regulation Practices «A comparative study of the differences in video game rating practices between Europe and Japan» Marita Eriksen Haugland Master’s thesis in Nordic Media Department of Media and Communication THE UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Fall 2018 The Cultural Aspect of Video Game Regulation Practices «A comparative study of the differences in video game rating practices between Europe and Japan» Marita Eriksen Haugland Master’s thesis in Nordic Media II Department of Media and Communication THE UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Fall 2018 III © Marita Eriksen Haugland 2018 The Cultural Aspect of Video Game Regulation Practices: A comparative study of the differences in video game rating practices between Europe and Japan Marita Eriksen Haugland http://www.duo.uio.no/ Print: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Abstract Video games have become a large part of media consumption, both for adults and children. This study contributes to the field of children and media by looking into the perceptions and construction of risk by self-regulatory organizations, as well as into self-regulatory effectiveness. The thesis also discusses the struggle and the compromises between child safety, cultural differences and freedom of expression. It takes up the question of how the cultural differences affect the age ratings and content descriptors. All video games rated in Europe and Japan between 2010-2016 are analyzed to show the differences between the regions. Also, content analyses are performed on 24 video games with emblematic differences in age ratings or content descriptors. The findings suggest that cultural differences in how the two systems view crime, non-realistic violence, realistic blood, non-sexual nudity, romantic behavior, and sexualized behavior is responsible for some of the differences in age ratings and content descriptors.

  • Robert Altman, Video Game Mogul Who Survived Scandal, Dies at 73 He and His Mentor, Clark Clifford, Were Caught up in a Major financial Fraud Case
    Robert Altman, Video Game Mogul Who Survive... https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/13/business/... Robert Altman, Video Game Mogul Who Survived Scandal, Dies at 73 He and his mentor, Clark Clifford, were caught up in a major financial fraud case. He later switched careers to lead the prominent game company ZeniMax. By Sam Roberts Feb. 13, 2021 Robert A. Altman, a consummate Washington insider who survived a global banking scandal to reanimate himself as the mogul of a multibillion-dollar video game conglomerate, died on Feb. 3 in Baltimore. He was 73. The cause was complications of a medical procedure, said his son, James, an executive of ZeniMax, which his father sold to Microsoft last year for $7.5 billion. Mr. Altman’s company was a household name among gamers who enjoyed the apocalyptic challenges of Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, Doom and Rage. He was probably most widely known as the husband of Lynda Carter, who starred in the 1970s television series “Wonder Woman.” But among the cognoscenti, he was known as the agile defense lawyer who kept prominent political figures out of prison, and as the junior law partner of Clark M. Clifford, among the last of Washington’s 20th-century “wise men,” with whom Mr. Altman became embroiled in accusations surrounding what was then the largest financial fraud in history. Mr. Altman was a law school prodigy when he joined Mr. Clifford’s firm and, having grasped the complexities of the Nixon administration’s wage and price controls, attracted major corporate clients. He also represented Bert Lance, who resigned as President Jimmy Carter’s budget director because of questions about his personal finances (he was acquitted by a jury and later cleared of conspiracy and banking charges), and Jim Wright, the Texas Democrat who quit as speaker of the House of Representatives during an ethics investigation.
