This video talks about the history of Activision. This now titan of industry was created by 4 developers from an equally large titan in the 70s and 80s (Atari) as a means of fighting for their justified pay for game development, before unfortunately going down the same path over 40 years later.

I'm Vex0r! I make YouTube videos to entertain people. The Videos primarily involve various "episodes" on technology or Retro Tech, their impact on society and history, Retrospectives on retro pop-culture, and Non-Correlated Special videos, ranging from mysteries to top 5s/10s Sounds cool?

Drop a like if you enjoyed, and we'll see you here again in 2 weeks for a brand new video (hint: it's a remake of an older video that I once considered to be my worst video uploaded, but has thankfully been turned into something great!)

To see how far Activision has gone from this beautiful origin story to still a good game maker but a rather suspicious company is even more interesting.

That’s amazing. I had no idea. I’ve even worked in the game and industry and I didn’t know that… so Atari or the cofounders of Activision
