Activision Publishing, Inc. is an American video game publisher based in Santa Monica, California. The company was founded as Activision, Inc. on October 1, 1979 in Sunnyvale, California (United States of America), by former Atari game developers upset at their treatment by Atari in order to develop their own games for the Atari 2600 home video game console. Activision was the first independent, third-party, console video game developer. The video game crash of 1983, in part created by several new companies following in Activision's footsteps, hurt Activision's position in console games and forced the company to diversify into games for home computers. After a management shift, with CEO Jim Levy replaced by Bruce Davis, the company renamed itself to Mediagenic and branched out into business software applications. Mediagenic quickly fell into debt, and the company was bought by Bobby Kotick and a small group of investors around 1991. Activision is well-known for their Call of Duty and Guitar Hero series, which they began releasing in the 2000s.
