Activision n. The second-largest video game
software company in the US,
based in Santa Monica, California. The Activision Web site is
www.activision.com.
Activision was founded in 1980 by dissatisfied Atari employees
as the first major independent video game publisher. Activision began by
developing games for Atari’s console. The company’s creation changed the
structure of the industry by separating game and console development.
(Previously, all games for a particular console were published by the console’s
manufacturer.) Recent Activision offerings include True Crime: New York City
(2005) and Spider-Man 3 (2007).
