▁game ▁cons oles ▁were ▁published ▁exclusively ▁by ▁m akers ▁of ▁the ▁systems ▁for ▁which ▁the ▁games ▁were ▁designed . ▁The ▁four ▁decided ▁to ▁create ▁their ▁own ▁independent ▁game ▁development ▁company . ▁They ▁were ▁directed ▁by ▁their ▁attorney ▁to ▁Jim ▁Lev y , ▁who ▁was ▁at ▁the ▁time ▁raising ▁venture ▁capital ▁to ▁manufact ure ▁c ass ette ▁tape ▁drives ▁for ▁early ▁home ▁computers . ▁Lev y ▁listened ▁to ▁their ▁plans , ▁agreed ▁with ▁its ▁direction , ▁and ▁helped ▁the ▁four ▁to ▁secure ▁about ▁ ▁in ▁capital ▁from ▁S utter ▁Hill ▁Vent ures . ▁By ▁August , ▁Cr ane ▁and ▁Miller ▁had ▁left ▁At ari , ▁with ▁White head ▁and ▁Kap lan ▁joining ▁them ▁shortly ▁after . ▁Activ ision ▁was ▁formally ▁founded ▁on ▁October ▁ 1 , ▁ 1 9 7 9 , ▁with ▁Lev y ▁serving ▁as ▁CEO . ▁The ▁company ▁was ▁initially ▁named ▁" Comput er ▁Arts , ▁Inc ." ▁while ▁they ▁considered ▁a ▁better ▁title . ▁The ▁four ▁found ers ▁had ▁thought ▁of ▁the ▁name ▁V Sync , ▁Inc ., ▁but ▁feared ▁that ▁the ▁public ▁would ▁not ▁understand ▁or ▁known ▁how ▁to ▁say ▁it . ▁Lev y ▁suggested ▁combining ▁" active " ▁and ▁" te lev ision " ▁to ▁come ▁up ▁with ▁Activ ision . ▁The ▁four ' s ▁departure ▁from ▁At ari ▁created ▁a ▁major ▁dent ▁in ▁At ari ' s ▁developer ▁staff , ▁and ▁At ari ▁purs ued ▁legal ▁action ▁from ▁ 1 9 8 0 ▁to ▁ 1 9 8 2 ▁to ▁try ▁to ▁shut ▁Activ ision ▁down , |
▁claiming ▁the ▁four ▁had ▁stolen ▁trade ▁secrets . ▁The ▁lawsuit ▁was ▁settled ▁by ▁ 1 9 8 2 , ▁with ▁Activ ision ▁agree ing ▁to ▁pay ▁ro y alties ▁to ▁At ari ▁but ▁otherwise ▁legit im izing ▁the ▁third - party ▁development ▁model . ▁ ▁Early ▁years ▁( 1 9 8 0 – 1 9 8 2 ) ▁ ▁The ▁four ' s ▁knowledge ▁of ▁the ▁At ari ▁ 2 6 0 0 , ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁software ▁tricks ▁for ▁the ▁system , ▁helped ▁them ▁make ▁their ▁own ▁games ▁vis ually ▁distinct ▁from ▁At ari - produ ced ▁games . ▁Each ▁of ▁the ▁found ers ▁developed ▁their ▁own ▁titles , ▁about ▁once ▁a ▁year , ▁over ▁the ▁first ▁few ▁years ▁of ▁the ▁company . ▁To ▁further ▁distinguish ▁themselves , ▁Activ ision ' s ▁boxes ▁were ▁bright ly ▁colored ▁and ▁featured ▁an ▁in - game ▁screens hot ▁on ▁the ▁back ▁cover . ▁Inst ruction ▁man uals ▁for ▁games ▁devoted ▁a ▁least ▁one ▁page ▁to ▁credit ▁the ▁developer . ▁Additionally , ▁for ▁nearly ▁all ▁of ▁Activ ision ' s ▁games ▁through ▁ 1 9 8 3 , ▁the ▁instruction ▁man uals ▁included ▁instructions ▁for ▁sending ▁the ▁company ▁a ▁photograph ▁of ▁a ▁player ' s ▁high ▁scores ▁to ▁receive ▁an ▁em bro ider ed ▁patch ▁in ▁return . ▁ ▁Activ ision ' s ▁break out ▁title ▁was ▁ 1 9 8 2 ' s ▁P it fall ! , ▁created ▁by ▁Cr ane . ▁More ▁than ▁ 4 ▁million ▁copies ▁of ▁the ▁game ▁were ▁sold . |
▁Total ▁reven ues ▁around ▁ 1 9 8 3 ▁were ▁estimated ▁to ▁be ▁about ▁, ▁at ▁which ▁point ▁they ▁had ▁around ▁ 6 0 ▁employees . ▁Danny ▁Good man ▁stated ▁in ▁Creative ▁Comput ing ▁Video ▁& ▁Arc ade ▁Games ▁in ▁ 1 9 8 3 , ▁" I ▁doubt ▁that ▁there ▁is ▁an ▁active ▁[ At ari ▁ 2 6 0 0 ] ▁owner ▁who ▁doesn ' t ▁have ▁at ▁least ▁one ▁Activ ision ▁car tr idge ▁in ▁his ▁library ". ▁The ▁company ▁launched ▁a ▁success ▁initial ▁public ▁offering ▁in ▁ 1 9 8 3 ▁on ▁NAS DA Q ▁under ▁the ▁stock ▁tick er ▁AV SN . ▁The ▁found ers ▁were ▁given ▁the ▁Game ▁Develop ers ▁Choice ▁" First ▁P engu in " ▁award ▁in ▁ 2 0 0 3 , ▁reflect ing ▁their ▁being ▁the ▁first ▁successful ▁third - party ▁developer . ▁ ▁The ▁video ▁game ▁market ▁crash ▁( 1 9 8 3 – 1 9 8 8 ) ▁ ▁The ▁success ▁of ▁Activ ision , ▁alongside ▁the ▁popularity ▁of ▁the ▁At ari ▁ 2 6 0 0 , ▁led ▁to ▁many ▁more ▁home ▁cons oles ▁third - party ▁developers ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁other ▁home ▁cons oles . ▁Activ ision ▁produced ▁some ▁of ▁its ▁At ari ▁games ▁for ▁the ▁Int ell iv ision ▁and ▁Cole cov ision ▁cons oles , ▁among ▁other ▁platforms . ▁However , ▁several ▁new ▁third - party ▁developers ▁also ▁a rose , ▁attempting ▁to ▁follow ▁the ▁approach ▁Activ ision ▁had ▁used ▁but ▁without ▁the ▁experience ▁they ▁had ; |
▁according ▁to ▁Cr ane , ▁several ▁of ▁these ▁companies ▁were ▁founded ▁with ▁venture ▁capital ▁and ▁hired ▁program mers ▁with ▁little ▁game ▁design ▁experience ▁off ▁the ▁street , ▁mass - publish ing ▁whatever ▁product ▁the ▁developers ▁had ▁made . ▁This ▁was ▁a ▁contributing ▁factor ▁to ▁the ▁video ▁game ▁crash ▁of ▁ 1 9 8 3 . ▁For ▁Activ ision , ▁while ▁they ▁survived ▁the ▁crash , ▁they ▁felt ▁its ▁effects ▁in ▁the ▁following ▁years . ▁These ▁third - party ▁developers ▁folded , ▁leaving ▁ware h ouses ▁full ▁of ▁uns old ▁games , ▁which ▁sav vy ▁retail ers ▁purchased ▁and ▁sold ▁at ▁a ▁mass ▁discount ▁( ▁compared ▁to ▁Activ ision ' s ▁ ▁manufacturer ' s ▁suggested ▁retail ▁price ). ▁While ▁there ▁was ▁still ▁a ▁demand ▁for ▁Activ ision ▁games , ▁un educ ated ▁consumers ▁were ▁more ▁drawn ▁to ▁the ▁heavily - dis count ed ▁titles ▁instead , ▁reducing ▁their ▁income . ▁Because ▁of ▁this , ▁Activ ision ▁decided ▁that ▁they ▁needed ▁to ▁divers ify ▁their ▁games ▁onto ▁home ▁computers ▁such ▁as ▁the ▁Com mod ore ▁ 6 4 , ▁Apple , ▁and ▁At ari ▁ 8 - bit ▁family ▁to ▁avoid ▁a ▁similar ▁event . ▁There ▁still ▁was ▁a ▁drain ▁of ▁talent ▁through ▁ 1 9 8 5 ▁from ▁the ▁crash . ▁Kap lan ▁left ▁Activ ision ▁in ▁ 1 9 8 3 ▁to ▁return ▁to ▁At ari ▁as ▁he ▁wanted ▁to ▁be ▁more ▁involved ▁in ▁hardware ▁development . ▁Miller ▁and ▁White head ▁left ▁in ▁ 1 9 8 4 ▁due ▁to ▁the ▁large |
▁de val uation ▁of ▁their ▁stock , ▁and ▁went ▁to ▁form ▁Acc ol ade . ▁ ▁With ▁the ▁video ▁game ▁crash ▁making ▁console ▁game ▁development ▁a ▁risk y ▁proposition , ▁the ▁company ▁focused ▁on ▁developing ▁for ▁home ▁computers ▁with ▁games ▁like ▁Little ▁Computer ▁People ▁and ▁H acker , ▁while ▁Lev y ▁tried ▁to ▁keep ▁expend it ures ▁in ▁check ▁as ▁they ▁recovered . ▁Looking ▁to ▁expand ▁further , ▁Activ ision ▁acquired , ▁through ▁a ▁corporate ▁mer ger , ▁the ▁struggling ▁text ▁adventure ▁pione er ▁Inf ocom ▁in ▁June ▁ 1 9 8 6 . ▁This ▁acquisition ▁was ▁spe ar headed ▁by ▁Lev y , ▁who ▁was ▁a ▁big ▁fan ▁of ▁Inf ocom ' s ▁titles ▁and ▁felt ▁the ▁company ▁was ▁in ▁a ▁similar ▁position ▁as ▁Activ ision . ▁About ▁six ▁months ▁after ▁the ▁" Inf ocom ▁Wed ding ", ▁Activ ision ' s ▁board ▁decided ▁to ▁replace ▁Lev y ▁with ▁Bruce ▁Davis . ▁Davis ▁was ▁against ▁the ▁purchase ▁of ▁Inf ocom ▁from ▁the ▁start ▁and ▁was ▁heavy - handed ▁in ▁its ▁management , ▁and ▁even ▁attempted ▁to ▁seek ▁a ▁lawsuit ▁to ▁recover ▁their ▁purchase ▁from ▁Inf ocom ' s ▁share holders . ▁Cr ane ▁also ▁found ▁Davis ▁difficult ▁to ▁work ▁with , ▁and ▁was ▁concerned ▁with ▁how ▁Davis ▁managed ▁the ▁closure ▁of ▁Im ag ic , ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁third - party ▁development ▁stud ios ▁formed ▁in ▁Activ ision ' s ▁success ▁in ▁ 1 9 8 1 . ▁Cr ane ▁left ▁Activ ision ▁in ▁ 1 9 8 6 ▁and ▁helped ▁Gary |
▁Kitchen ▁found ▁Abs olute ▁Entertainment . ▁ ▁Med i agen ic ▁( 1 9 8 8 – 1 9 9 2 ) ▁ ▁In ▁ 1 9 8 8 , ▁Activ ision ▁began ▁involvement ▁in ▁software ▁besides ▁video ▁games , ▁such ▁as ▁business ▁applications . ▁As ▁a ▁result , ▁Activ ision ▁changed ▁its ▁corporate ▁name ▁to ▁Med i agen ic ▁to ▁better ▁represent ▁all ▁of ▁its ▁activities . ▁ ▁Med i agen ic ▁consisted ▁of ▁four ▁groups : ▁ ▁Activ ision : ▁video ▁game ▁publisher ▁for ▁various ▁platforms , ▁notably ▁the ▁Nintendo ▁Entertainment ▁System , ▁the ▁S ega ▁Master ▁System , ▁the ▁At ari ▁ 7 8 0 0 , ▁At ari ▁ST , ▁Com mod ore ▁ 6 4 ▁and ▁Am iga ▁ ▁Inf ocom : ▁developer ▁of ▁interactive ▁fiction ▁games ▁ ▁Gam est ar : ▁initially ▁an ▁independent ▁company ▁but ▁purchased ▁by ▁Activ ision ▁in ▁ 1 9 8 6 . ▁Spec ialized ▁in ▁sports ▁video ▁games ▁ ▁Ten ▁Point ▁O : ▁business ▁application ▁software ▁ ▁In ▁ 1 9 8 9 , ▁after ▁several ▁years ▁of ▁losses , ▁Activ ision ▁closed ▁down ▁the ▁Inf ocom ▁stud ios , ▁extending ▁to ▁only ▁ 1 1 ▁of ▁the ▁ 2 6 ▁employees ▁an ▁offer ▁to ▁rel ocate ▁to ▁Activ ision ' s ▁Sil icon ▁Valley ▁headquarters . ▁Five ▁of ▁them ▁accepted ▁this ▁offer . ▁ ▁During ▁this ▁period ▁Med i agen ic , ▁via ▁Activ ision , ▁secured ▁the ▁rights ▁to ▁distribute ▁games ▁from ▁C yan ▁World s . ▁The ▁first ▁game |
▁published ▁by ▁Activ ision ▁from ▁C yan ▁was ▁The ▁Man hole , ▁on ▁CD - ROM ▁for ▁personal ▁computers , ▁the ▁first ▁major ▁game ▁distributed ▁in ▁this ▁format . ▁ ▁P urchase ▁by ▁Bobby ▁Kot ick ▁( 1 9 9 0 – 1 9 9 7 ) ▁ ▁Davis ' ▁management ▁of ▁Med i agen ic ▁failed ▁to ▁produce ▁a ▁profitable ▁company ; ▁in ▁ 1 9 9 1 , ▁Med i agen ic ▁reported ▁a ▁loss ▁of ▁ ▁on ▁only ▁ ▁profit ▁and ▁had ▁over ▁ ▁in ▁debt . ▁C yan ▁sever ed ▁their ▁contract ▁with ▁Activ ision , ▁and ▁turned ▁to ▁Bro der bund ▁for ▁publishing , ▁including ▁what ▁would ▁become ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁most ▁significant ▁computer ▁games ▁of ▁the ▁ 1 9 9 0 s , ▁Myst . ▁ ▁Bobby ▁Kot ick ▁had ▁become ▁interested ▁in ▁the ▁value ▁of ▁the ▁video ▁game ▁industry ▁following ▁the ▁crash , ▁and ▁he ▁and ▁three ▁investors ▁tried ▁to ▁buy ▁Com mod ore ▁International ▁as ▁to ▁gain ▁access ▁to ▁the ▁Com mod ore ▁Am iga ▁line ▁of ▁personal ▁computers . ▁F ailing ▁to ▁complete ▁this , ▁the ▁group ▁bought ▁a ▁company ▁that ▁licensed ▁Nintendo ▁characters , ▁and ▁through ▁Nintendo ▁was ▁directed ▁to ▁the ▁failing ▁Med i agen ic . ▁Kot ick ▁was ▁drawn ▁to ▁buy ▁out ▁Med i agen ic ▁not ▁for ▁its ▁current ▁offer ings ▁but ▁for ▁the ▁Activ ision ▁name , ▁given ▁its ▁past ▁success es ▁with ▁P it fall ! , ▁with ▁hopes ▁to ▁restore ▁Activ ision ▁to ▁its ▁former ▁glory . |
▁Kot ick ▁and ▁additional ▁investors ▁bought ▁Med i agen ic ▁for ▁approximately ▁ ▁in ▁ 1 9 9 1 ; ▁these ▁investors ▁included ▁real ▁estate ▁business man ▁Steve ▁W yn n ▁and ▁Phil ips ▁Elect ron ics . ▁Kot ick ▁became ▁CEO ▁and ▁made ▁several ▁immediate ▁changes : ▁He ▁let ▁go ▁of ▁all ▁but ▁ 8 ▁of ▁the ▁companies ' ▁ 1 5 0 ▁employees , ▁performed ▁a ▁full ▁re struct uring ▁of ▁the ▁company , ▁developed ▁a ▁bankrupt cy ▁re struct uring ▁plan , ▁and ▁re inc or por ated ▁the ▁company ▁in ▁Los ▁Angeles , ▁California . ▁In ▁the ▁bankrupt cy ▁plan , ▁Kot ick ▁recognized ▁that ▁Med i agen ic ▁still ▁had ▁valuable ▁assets , ▁which ▁included ▁the ▁Inf ocom ▁library ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁its ▁author ing ▁tools ▁to ▁make ▁games , ▁Activ ision ' s ▁distribution ▁network , ▁and ▁licenses ▁to ▁develop ▁on ▁Nintendo ▁and ▁S ega ▁home ▁cons oles . ▁Kot ick ▁offset ▁some ▁debt ▁by ▁giving ▁stock ▁in ▁the ▁company ▁to ▁its ▁distribut ors ▁as ▁to ▁keep ▁them ▁v ested ▁in ▁the ▁company ' s ▁success . ▁Kot ick ▁also ▁had ▁the ▁company ▁re issue ▁several ▁of ▁its ▁past ▁console ▁and ▁Inf ocom ▁titles ▁as ▁comp il ations ▁for ▁personal ▁computers . ▁Kot ick ▁had ▁also ▁recognized ▁the ▁value ▁of ▁the ▁Z ork ▁property ▁from ▁Inf ocom , ▁and ▁had ▁the ▁company ▁develop ▁a ▁sequ el , ▁Return ▁to ▁Z ork . ▁Comb ined , ▁these ▁steps ▁allowed ▁Med i agen ic ▁to ▁fulfill ▁on ▁the ▁bankrupt |
cy ▁plan , ▁and ▁by ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁ 1 9 9 2 , ▁Kot ick ▁renamed ▁Med i agen ic ▁to ▁the ▁original ▁Activ ision ▁name . ▁The ▁new ▁Activ ision ▁went ▁public ▁in ▁October ▁ 1 9 9 3 , ▁raising ▁about ▁, ▁and ▁was ▁listed ▁on ▁NAS DA Q ▁under ▁its ▁new ▁tick er ▁symbol ▁AT VI . ▁ ▁By ▁ 1 9 9 5 , ▁Kot ick ' s ▁approach ▁had ▁met ▁one ▁promise ▁he ▁made ▁to ▁investors : ▁that ▁he ▁would ▁give ▁them ▁four ▁years ▁of ▁ 5 0 % ▁growth ▁in ▁reven ues ▁while ▁remaining ▁break - even . ▁Re aching ▁this ▁goal , ▁Kot ick ▁then ▁set ▁Activ ision ▁on ▁his ▁second ▁promise ▁to ▁investors , ▁to ▁develop ▁high - dem and ▁games ▁and ▁make ▁the ▁company ▁profitable ▁by ▁ 1 9 9 7 . ▁ ▁Activ ision ▁published ▁the ▁first - person ▁perspective ▁Me ch War rior ▁in ▁ 1 9 8 9 , ▁based ▁on ▁F AS A ' s ▁pen - and - p encil ▁game ▁Battle T ech . ▁A ▁sequ el , ▁Me ch War rior ▁ 2 , ▁was ▁released ▁in ▁ 1 9 9 5 ▁after ▁two ▁years ▁of ▁del ays ▁and ▁internal ▁struggles , ▁prompt ing ▁F AS A ▁not ▁to ▁renew ▁their ▁lic ensing ▁deal ▁with ▁Activ ision . ▁To ▁counter , ▁Activ ision ▁released ▁several ▁more ▁games ▁bearing ▁the ▁Me ch War rior ▁ 2 ▁name , ▁which ▁did ▁not ▁viol ate ▁their ▁lic ensing ▁agreement |
. ▁These ▁included ▁Net M ech , ▁Me ch War rior ▁ 2 : ▁Ghost ▁Bear ' s ▁Leg acy , ▁and ▁Me ch War rior ▁ 2 : ▁Merc en aries . ▁The ▁entire ▁Me ch War rior ▁ 2 ▁game ▁series ▁account ed ▁for ▁more ▁than ▁ ▁in ▁sales . ▁ ▁Activ ision ▁proc ured ▁the ▁license ▁to ▁another ▁pen - and - paper - based ▁war ▁game , ▁Heavy ▁G ear , ▁in ▁ 1 9 9 7 . ▁The ▁video ▁game ▁version ▁was ▁well ▁received ▁by ▁critics , ▁with ▁an ▁ 8 1 . 4 6 % ▁average ▁rating ▁on ▁Game Rank ings ▁and ▁being ▁considered ▁the ▁best ▁game ▁of ▁the ▁genre ▁at ▁the ▁time ▁by ▁Game Sp ot . ▁The ▁Me ch war rior ▁ 2 ▁engine ▁was ▁also ▁used ▁in ▁other ▁Activ ision ▁games , ▁including ▁ 1 9 9 7 ' s ▁Inter state ▁' 7 6 ▁and ▁ 1 9 9 8 ' s ▁Battle zone . ▁ ▁Grow th ▁and ▁acquis itions ▁( 1 9 9 7 – 2 0 0 8 ) ▁ ▁With ▁several ▁of ▁its ▁own ▁successfully - develop ed ▁games ▁helping ▁to ▁turn ▁a ▁profit , ▁Kot ick ▁led ▁Activ ision ▁to ▁start ▁seeking ▁acquis itions ▁of ▁video ▁game ▁development ▁stud ios , ▁guided ▁by ▁market ▁surveys ▁to ▁determine ▁what ▁areas ▁of ▁content ▁to ▁focus ▁on . ▁It ▁is ▁estimated ▁that ▁between ▁ 1 9 9 7 ▁and ▁ 2 0 0 8 , ▁Activ ision ▁made ▁ 2 5 |
▁acquis itions , ▁several ▁for ▁und is closed ▁amounts . ▁Several ▁of ▁these ▁came ▁prior ▁to ▁ 2 0 0 1 , ▁in ▁the ▁midst ▁of ▁the ▁D ot - com ▁bubble , ▁enabling ▁the ▁company ▁to ▁acquire ▁stud ios ▁at ▁a ▁lower ▁val uation . ▁On ▁June ▁ 1 6 , ▁ 2 0 0 0 , ▁Activ ision ▁re organ ized ▁as ▁a ▁holding ▁company , ▁Activ ision ▁Hold ings , ▁to ▁manage ▁Activ ision ▁and ▁its ▁subs idi aries ▁more ▁effectively . ▁Activ ision ▁changed ▁its ▁corporate ▁name ▁from ▁" Activ ision , ▁Inc ." ▁to ▁" Activ ision ▁Publishing , ▁Inc .", ▁while ▁Activ ision ▁Hold ings ▁took ▁Activ ision ' s ▁former ▁" Activ ision , ▁Inc ." ▁name . ▁Activ ision ▁Publishing ▁became ▁a ▁wh olly ▁owned ▁subs idi ary ▁of ▁Activ ision , ▁which ▁in ▁turn ▁became ▁the ▁publicly ▁traded ▁company , ▁with ▁all ▁outstanding ▁shares ▁of ▁capital ▁stock ▁converted . ▁ ▁Some ▁of ▁the ▁key ▁acquis itions ▁and ▁investments ▁made ▁by ▁Activ ision ▁in ▁this ▁period ▁include : ▁ ▁R aven ▁Software : ▁R aven ▁was ▁founded ▁in ▁ 1 9 9 0 ; ▁because ▁of ▁their ▁close ▁proxim ity , ▁R aven ▁frequently ▁collabor ated ▁with ▁id ▁Software , ▁and ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁studio ' s ▁early ▁success es ▁was ▁the ▁Her etic ▁series ▁using ▁id ' s ▁Do om ▁engine . ▁Around ▁ 1 9 9 7 , ▁R aven ' s ▁found ers ▁Brian ▁and ▁Steve ▁R aff el ▁felt ▁the ▁need |
▁to ▁seek ▁a ▁parent ▁company . ▁They ▁arranged ▁a ▁publishing ▁deal ▁with ▁Activ ision ▁in ▁ 1 9 9 7 , ▁which ▁not ▁only ▁served ▁to ▁provide ▁R aven ▁additional ▁financial ▁support , ▁but ▁also ▁gave ▁Activ ision ▁the ▁opportunity ▁to ▁work ▁closely ▁with ▁id ▁Software ▁and ▁gain ▁business ▁relationships ▁with ▁them . ▁By ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁ 1 9 9 7 , ▁Activ ision ▁acquired ▁R aven ▁as ▁one ▁of ▁its ▁first ▁subs idi aries ▁under ▁Kot ick . ▁ ▁Never soft : ▁Prior ▁to ▁its ▁acquisition ▁in ▁ 2 0 0 0 , ▁Activ ision ▁had ▁arranged ▁a ▁development ▁deal ▁with ▁Never soft ▁to ▁re - develop ▁Ap ocal yp se , ▁a ▁title ▁that ▁failed ▁to ▁be ▁completed ▁within ▁Activ ision . ▁Sub sequently , ▁Activ ision ▁had ▁Never soft ▁work ▁on ▁a ▁prototype ▁for ▁a ▁sk ate board ing ▁game , ▁which ▁would ▁end ▁up ▁becoming ▁the ▁first ▁in ▁the ▁Tony ▁Haw k ' s ▁series ▁of ▁sk ate board ing ▁video ▁games . ▁Tony ▁Haw k ' s ▁Pro ▁Sk ater ▁was ▁a ▁critical ▁success , ▁leading ▁Activ ision ▁to ▁acquire ▁Never soft ▁in ▁April ▁ 2 0 0 0 . ▁After ▁eight ▁games , ▁the ▁series ▁has ▁brought ▁in ▁. ▁ ▁In finity ▁Ward : ▁After ▁Elect ronic ▁Arts ▁released ▁Medal ▁of ▁Honor : ▁All ied ▁Ass ault ▁in ▁ 2 0 0 2 , ▁several ▁of ▁the ▁developers ▁from ▁ 2 0 1 5 , ▁Inc ., ▁dis en ch anted ▁with ▁their ▁current ▁contracts , |
▁left ▁to ▁form ▁a ▁new ▁studio , ▁In finity ▁Ward . ▁Kot ick ▁himself ▁provided ▁the ▁group ▁with ▁startup ▁funding , ▁as ▁they ▁were ▁seeking ▁to ▁develop ▁a ▁similar ▁title ▁to ▁Medal ▁of ▁Honor . ▁Activ ision ▁acquired ▁the ▁studio ▁for ▁ ▁in ▁January ▁ 2 0 0 3 , ▁and ▁later ▁publish ▁their ▁first ▁title , ▁Call ▁of ▁D uty , ▁directly ▁competing ▁with ▁Elect ronic ▁Arts . ▁The ▁Call ▁of ▁D uty ▁series ▁has ▁since ▁seen ▁nearly ▁year ly ▁releases ▁and ▁as ▁of ▁ 2 0 1 6 ▁had ▁sold ▁more ▁than ▁ 2 5 0 ▁million ▁units ▁and ▁brought ▁in ▁more ▁than ▁ ▁in ▁revenue . ▁ ▁T rey arch : ▁The ▁Santa ▁Mon ica , ▁California ▁studio ▁was ▁founded ▁in ▁ 1 9 9 6 . ▁With ▁the ▁success ▁of ▁the ▁first ▁Tony ▁Haw k ▁game ▁from ▁Never soft , ▁Activ ision ▁used ▁T rey arch ▁to ▁assist ▁in ▁further ▁Tony ▁Haw k ▁games ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁to ▁develop ▁titles ▁using ▁Activ ision ' s ▁license ▁of ▁Marvel ' s ▁Sp ider - Man . ▁Activ ision ▁acquired ▁the ▁studio ▁in ▁ 2 0 0 1 ▁for ▁about ▁. ▁ ▁Following ▁the ▁success ▁of ▁Call ▁of ▁D uty ▁from ▁In finity ▁Ward , ▁Activ ision ▁moved ▁T rey arch ▁to ▁assist ▁in ▁the ▁series ' ▁development , ▁trading ▁off ▁each ▁year ' ▁major ▁release ▁between ▁the ▁two ▁stud ios . ▁ ▁Gray ▁M atter ▁Inter active : ▁While ▁Gray ▁M atter ▁was ▁originally ▁founded ▁in ▁ 1 9 9 |

▁they ▁take ▁on ▁a ▁new ▁direction . ▁In ▁this , ▁the ▁first ▁message ▁to ▁follow ▁the ▁pro clam ation ▁of ▁the ▁dog ma , ▁Mary ▁calls ▁herself ▁' The ▁Lady ▁of ▁All ▁Nations ' ▁for ▁the ▁first ▁time . ▁In ▁the ▁succeed ing ▁messages ▁she ▁dict ates ▁her ▁prayer , ▁draws ▁attention ▁to ▁her ▁image , ▁and ▁speaks ▁for ▁the ▁first ▁time ▁about ▁the ▁final ▁and ▁greatest ▁Marian ▁dog ma : ▁Mary ▁C ored empt rix , ▁Med iat rix ▁and ▁Adv ocate ." ▁ ▁The ▁Lady ▁reported ly ▁said ▁that ▁the ▁definition ▁of ▁the ▁Ass um ption ▁had ▁brought ▁to ▁a ▁close ▁the ▁era ▁of ▁Marian ▁dog mas ▁having ▁to ▁do ▁with ▁Mary ' s ▁earth ly ▁life , ▁and ▁that ▁the ▁" final ▁and ▁greatest " ▁Marian ▁dog ma ▁would ▁be ▁a ▁definition ▁of ▁the ▁heaven ly ▁role ▁of ▁the ▁Lady ▁of ▁All ▁Nations ▁under ▁the ▁titles ▁of ▁C ored empt rix , ▁Med iat rix ▁and ▁Adv ocate . ▁Supp orters ▁of ▁this ▁proposal ▁refer ▁to ▁it ▁as ▁" the ▁fifth ▁Marian ▁dog ma ," ▁since ▁it ▁would ▁theoret ically ▁follow ▁the ▁four ▁dog matic ▁definitions ▁of ▁Mary ▁as ▁Mother ▁of ▁God , ▁Per pet ual ▁Virgin , ▁Im mac ul ately ▁Con ceived , ▁and ▁Ass umed ▁into ▁Heaven . ▁ ▁In ▁February ▁ 1 9 5 1 , ▁the ▁Lady ▁of ▁the ▁appar ition ▁reported ly ▁began ▁identifying ▁herself ▁in ▁a ▁different ▁way : ▁“ I ▁am ▁the ▁Lady , ▁Mary , ▁Mother ▁of ▁All ▁Nations . ▁You |
▁may ▁say : ▁The ▁Lady ▁of ▁All ▁Nations ▁or ▁Mother ▁of ▁All ▁Nations , ▁who ▁once ▁was ▁Mary ." ▁The ▁following ▁month ▁the ▁lady ▁said , ▁" The ▁whole ▁world ▁is ▁degener ating , ▁and ▁because ▁of ▁this ▁the ▁Son ▁is ▁sending ▁the ▁Lady ▁of ▁All ▁Nations , ▁who ▁once ▁was ▁Mary ." ▁In ▁July , ▁she ▁explained , ▁" ‘ Who ▁once ▁was ▁Mary ’ ▁means : ▁many ▁people ▁have ▁known ▁Mary ▁as ▁Mary . ▁Now , ▁however , ▁in ▁this ▁new ▁era ▁which ▁is ▁about ▁to ▁begin , ▁I ▁wish ▁to ▁be ▁the ▁Lady ▁of ▁All ▁Nations ." ▁Pe erd eman ' s ▁appar ition ▁messages ▁c ite ▁the ▁G ospel ▁of ▁John ▁as ▁the ▁basis ▁of ▁this ▁dual ▁n aming ▁of ▁Mary : ▁" At ▁the ▁departure ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁Jesus ▁Christ , ▁He ▁gave ▁Mir iam , ▁or ▁Mary , ▁to ▁the ▁nations ▁in ▁one ▁act , ▁giving ▁her ▁as ▁‘ The ▁Lady ▁of ▁All ▁Nations ’. ▁For ▁He ▁spoke ▁the ▁words , ▁‘ W oman , ▁beh old ▁your ▁son ; ▁son , ▁beh old ▁your ▁mother .’ ▁One ▁act , ▁and ▁by ▁this ▁Mir iam , ▁or ▁Mary , ▁received ▁this ▁new ▁title ." ▁ ▁The ▁Lady ▁asked ▁a ▁prayer ▁be ▁said ▁throughout ▁the ▁world : ▁ ▁" L ord ▁Jesus ▁Christ , ▁Son ▁of ▁the ▁Father , ▁send ▁now ▁Your ▁Spirit ▁over ▁the ▁earth . ▁Let ▁the ▁Holy ▁Spirit ▁live ▁in ▁the ▁hearts ▁of ▁all ▁nations , ▁that ▁they ▁may ▁be ▁preserved ▁from ▁degener ation , |

▁continued ▁to ▁spread . ▁In ▁March ▁ 1 9 7 3 , ▁Marie - P au le ▁G igu ère , ▁founder ▁of ▁the ▁Army ▁of ▁Mary , ▁met ▁Pe erd eman ▁in ▁Amsterdam . ▁ ▁R ul ings ▁by ▁Church ▁Author ities ▁▁ ▁In ▁the ▁Catholic ▁Church , ▁the ▁task ▁of ▁jud ging ▁the ▁super natural ▁character ▁of ▁an ▁alleged ▁appar ition ▁normally ▁falls ▁to ▁the ▁b ishop ▁of ▁the ▁di oc ese ▁in ▁which ▁the ▁appar ition ▁takes ▁place : ▁in ▁this ▁case , ▁the ▁Di oc ese ▁of ▁Ha ar lem - Am sterdam ▁( former ly ▁known ▁as ▁the ▁Di oc ese ▁of ▁Ha ar lem ). ▁▁ ▁Bishop ▁Johannes ▁Hu ib ers , ▁who ▁was ▁b ishop ▁of ▁Ha ar lem ▁while ▁the ▁appar itions ▁were ▁taking ▁place , ▁gave ▁his ▁approval ▁( nih il ▁ob stat ) ▁to ▁the ▁title ▁and ▁the ▁prayer ▁associated ▁with ▁the ▁appar ition . ▁" On ▁ 7 ▁May ▁ 1 9 5 6 , ▁Bishop ▁Hu ib ers , ▁following ▁on ▁a ▁careful ▁examination ▁of ▁the ▁case ▁concerning ▁the ▁supposed ▁appar itions ▁and ▁revel ations ▁of ▁' Our ▁Lady ▁of ▁All ▁Nations ', ▁declared ▁that ▁he ▁' found ▁no ▁evidence ▁of ▁the ▁super natural ▁nature ▁of ▁the ▁appar itions ' ". ▁The ▁V atic an ' s ▁Cong regation ▁for ▁the ▁Do ctrine ▁of ▁the ▁Faith ▁( CD F ) ▁aff irmed ▁his ▁position ▁on ▁ 1 3 ▁March ▁ 1 9 5 7 ▁and ▁again ▁on ▁ 2 4 ▁May |
