  • William M. 'Trip' Hawkins III (born December 28, 1953) is a Silicon Valley American entrepreneur and founder of Electronic Arts, The 3DO Company and Digital Chocolate. Hawkins was the Director of Strategy and Marketing at Apple Computer in 1982 when he left to found Electronic Arts (EA), a video game publisher. Electronic Arts had a successful run for many years under Hawkins' leadership. It was once the world's largest video game publisher and continues to hold the top spot among third-party publishers as of the present day. Though he remained chair of the board, Hawkins transitioned from EA in 1991 to form 3DO, a video game console company. 3DO was formed in partnership with several other companies including EA. Upon its release in 1993, the 3DO was the most powerful video game console at the time. It was also the most expensive, costing US$700, compared to the low hundreds of dollars of other systems. Sales were poor due to weak games that relied excessively on full motion video sequences (which were state-of-the-art for the time) at the expense of gameplay. Hopes for the system were further damaged in 1994 with the arrival of the Sony PlayStation, which beat the 3DO in price. In 1996 3DO stopped developing the system and transitioned into a video game developer, making games for the PlayStation, PC and other consoles. However, due to poor sales of its titles, it went bankrupt in May 2003. Hawkins decided to make branding a focus and 6–9-month production timetables for games. Quality suffered as did sales. Hawkins had used cash reserves to bail out the failing company before, but declined to do so a final time. 3DO is now out of business. The defunct company sold most of its intellectual property to the publisher Ubisoft. In late 2003, Hawkins launched a new video game development company called Digital Chocolate. The company focuses on developing games for handheld devices. In 2005, Hawkins became the eighth person to be inducted into the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences' Hall of Fame. Hawkins designed his own major at Harvard University in Strategy and Applied Game Theory.

  • William M. 'Trip' Hawkins III on yhdysvaltalainen liikemies ja kuuluu Electronic Arts -, 3DO Company - ja Digital Chocolate -yhtiöiden perustajajäseniin. Hawkins työskenteli Apple Computerin Lisa-projektissa markkinointipäällikkönä vuoteen 1982, jolloin hän jätti Applen ja perusti videopelejä kehittävän Electronic Artsin. Hawkinsin johdolla Electronic Arts kehittyi videopelialan jättiläiseksi ja on nykyään maailman suurimpia videopelien julkaisijoita. Vuonna 1991, säilyttäen asemansa edelleen Electronic Artsin johtokunnassa, Hawkins siirtyi yhtiön parista perustamaan toista, videopelialalla toimivaa yritystä, joka sai nimekseen 3DO. Vuonna 1993 3DO julkaisi yhtiön nimeä kantavan pelikonsolin, joka ei kuitenkaan menestynyt odotetulla tavalla. Kolme vuotta myöhemmin 3DO siirtyi kehittämään videopelejä muille alustoille, mutta ei pysynyt kannattavana Hawkinsin aggressiivisista markkinointitoimista huolimatta. Vuonna 2003 3DO teki konkurssin, sen rippeet myytiin Ubisoftille ja Hawkins aloitti uuden projektin perustaen kannettaville pelikonsoleille pelejä tuottavan Digital Chocolaten.
  • Ha fondato la Electronic Arts, la 3DO e la Digital Chocolate. Hawkins è stato direttore delle strategie di Marketing di Apple Computer nel 1982 e, dopo essersi licenziato, ha fondato la Electronic Arts (EA), un editore di giochi elettronici. Electronic Arts è diventata una compagnia di successo sotto la guida di Hawkins che l'ha diretta per molti anni. Attualmente è il maggiore editore di videogiochi del pianeta. Hawkins abbandona la EA nel 1991 per fondare una società dedita allo sviluppo di una console per videogiochi, la 3DO. La 3DO presenta nel 1993 la più potente console disponibile sul mercato, ma anche la più costosa. Il prezzo elevato scoraggia le vendite mentre nel 1994 la Sony presenta la PlayStation, una console più economica e più potente. Ad esempio Playstation al lancio costava 399 Dollari, Saturn 499. Nel 1996 la 3DO abbandona la console e si dedica allo sviluppo di videogiochi per PC, PlayStation e altre console. Ma la nuova strada non riesce a risollevare la società che dopo alterne fortune dichiara fallimento nel 2003. La defunta compagnia vende le sue proprietà intellettuali che vengono acquisite dalla Ubisoft. Nel tardo 2003, Hawkins annuncia l'intenzione di avviare una nuova società chiamata Digital Chocolate. L'obiettivo di questa società è lo sviluppo di videogiochi per i dispositivi portatili come i PDA o i cellulari.
