Raven Software
Raven Software (or Raven Entertainment Software, Inc.) is an American video game developing company based in Wisconsin and founded in 1990. In 1997, Raven made an exclusive publishing deal with Activision and was subsequently acquired by them. After the acquisition, much of the studio's original developers, largely responsible for creating the ''Heretic'' and ''Hexen: Beyond Heretic'' games, left to form Human Head Studios.
==History==
Raven Software was founded in 1990 by brothers Brian and Steve Raffel. The company was independent until 1997 when it looked for a buyer; eventually being bought by Activision in the same year, i.e. 1997, due to their happiness to leave the studio relatively untouched. When Raven Software was acquired it lost many employees who distrusted Activision and were afraid that it would ruin their corporate culture.
Raven has a history of working with id Software: After using id's engines for many of their games (from ''Heretic'' in 1994), they took over development of id's ''Quake'' franchise for ''Quake 4'' and the new iteration of id's ''Wolfenstein'' series.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=id Software and Activision, Inc. Confirm Wolfenstein(R) for the Xbox 360 Video Game and Entertainment System )〕
The company started off with three development teams, cut to two from the major layoffs, of 30-35 staff, which occurred in August 2009 following the poor performance and possible over-budget of ''Wolfenstein''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Raven Software Hit By Layoffs )〕 The amount of teams reduced to one as a result of more layoffs in October 2010 after delays with ''Singularity'' in which as many as 40 staff were released.
