关于 Top of the Chart

Video Game History

The history of video games goes as far back as the early 1950s, when academic computer scientists began designing simple games and simulations as part of their research. Video gaming did not reach mainstream popularity until the 1970s and 1980s, when video arcade games and gaming consoles using joysticks, buttons, and other controllers, along with graphics on computer screens and home computer games were introduced to the general public. Since the 1980s, video gaming has become a popular form of entertainment and a part of modern popular culture in most parts of the world.

PC gaming has been holding a large market share for decades and continues to grow due to digital distribution.

This group is dedicated to share video game history and discuss the biggest and best games ever made.

Vince Zampella, studio head behind Call of Duty and Titanfall, killed in car crash

12 月 23 日 - DanishScorpio | 0 条留言

Former CEO of Infinity Ward and current head of Battlefield and Respawn died following a Ferrari crash in California

Vince Zampella, who co-created the Call of Duty series and lead some of the most influential game development studios of the modern console era, has died in a car crash in California, according to a report by NBC Los Angeles.

The executive, 55, was in a 2026 Ferrari 296 GTS which crashed on a mountain road north of Los Angeles and subsequently caught fire. Both driver and passenger died, according to the NBC report, which cited the California Highway Patrol.

Zampella was Executive Vice President at EA overseeing the Battlefield franchise along with Respawn Entertainment, the studio he founded with long-term business partner Jason West in 2010, and which had produced Titanfall, Apex Legends, Jedi Fallen Order and Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond.

An EA statement was provided to Kotaku: "This is an unimaginable loss, and our hearts are with Vince’s family, his loved ones, and all those touched by his work, Vince’s influence on the video game industry was profound and far-reaching. A friend, colleague, leader and visionary creator, his work helped shape modern interactive entertainment and inspired millions of players and developers around the world. His legacy will continue to shape how games are made and how players connect for generations to come.

Zampelle and West founded Infinity Ward along with Grant Collier in 2002, and went on to create the phenomenally successful Call of Duty franchise for Activision. Developed by the core team behind the then market-leading Medal of Honor franchise, 2003's Call of Duty was initially a hit on PC and went on to spawn multiple sequels across all platforms. The franchise sold over 500 million copies and defined the modern first-person shooter market.

Staff were asked to work an additional 8 hours a week, up to a maximum of 60 hours

A new report claims Naughty Dog recently ordered employees to take on "mandatory" overtime as it worked to get the Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet demo finalized.

That's according to Bloomberg, which claims staff had been asked to work at least eight extra hours a week up to a maximum of 60 hours a week. This period of mandated overtime allegedly ran for the last seven weeks, ending this week.

Developers were also instructed to come into the office to work five days a week – up from three – disrupting their usual child and animal care routines, but management has reportedly told employees that this will return to three days a week for January.

"Starting in late October, staff were asked to begin working a minimum of eight extra hours a week and logging their overtime in an internal spreadsheet, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly," Bloomberg reports.

"This overtime period was an attempt to get the production back on track after several missed deadlines."

Both Sony and Naughty Dog declined to comment on the claims.

Whilst there has been a pushback on crunch in recent years, Naughty Dog's stance on mandated overtime has been under scrutiny several times, most recently in 2021 when the studio's then co-president Evan Wells responded to a question about his personal experience with crunch stating, "I have definitely personally worked very hard over the years. I think some of that has helped me get to where I am in my career."

Hi Everyone

Yonaga, who has been manipulating Steam for years, went one step further and added me as a friend with a sub-account and tried to hack me by sending me links. Of course, I understood the situation and deleted him immediately, but everyone needs to see Yonaga's true face now. He also hacked a person named Senza along with Commander Steffa.
