	Baseball Sim Central / Interviews / A Meeting with Trip Hawkins
		On February 14th, I was in NYC to meet with Trip Hawkins to discuss a few things about 3DO, High Heat and Softball Slam.

		Trip and I were both taunting each other, and he promptly nailed me with a pitch.

		Trip Hawkins (right), the CEO of mobile entertainment publisher Digital Chocolate and former founder of EA, recently spoke about the phenomenon of social games on mobile phones.

	Billy Hawkins: Abducted by Alias!
		Hawkins’ unit wasn’t engaged in any military action on February 23, 1865, the day he was arrested for mutiny.
		Hawkins must have walked off in a huff with some army gear, for his muster-out form stated that he owed the army $1.61 for “one waist belt, one gun sling, one shoulder sling and plate.”
		Hawkins claimed he was seriously disabled due to his horse falling on him in 1864, attributing an amazing list of maladies, including asthma, to this accident.

		Hawkins particularly made his name as the co-founder Electronic Arts, shepherding it from its inception to rise as a major industry player in the 1990s, but is also known as the creator of 3D0's hardware and software offerings.
		Hawkins' induction is as interesting for what he isn't as what he is: previous nominees have all been noted game designers with specific, seminal titles to their credit.
		Still, Hawkins' influence is as unmistakable in its way as that of any previous inductee, and he commented on this honor: "It is an incredible honor to be recognized by my distinguished peers in the industry...

		Trip was right in one way, the Xbox has come too late and done too little.

		I wrote about Trip Hawkins and Digital Chocolate last week, when the company released some casual multiplayer games.
		Hawkins gave a keynote Wednesday morning at CTIA and elaborated on this further, but probably the most interesting thing I took away from it was that he said games have to give people an excuse to be social.
		Hawkins realizes that we all play games, but since a lot aren’t console games or the type of games teenagers play, we don’t always know it.

		Hawkins announced his new venture at the CTIA mobile trade show in Las Vegas this week, telling website GameSpot that the wireless space represents "probably the most interesting computer platform in history".
		In ways this is almost a return to his roots for Hawkins; he helmed Electronic Arts, now the industry's largest independent publisher, through a period when many of console and PC gaming's killer apps were being invented.
		Later ventures were less successful, though, with the failed launch of the 3DO console and the long slow death-rattle of 3DO itself being significant blots on the copybook of one of the industry's early entrepreneurs.

		Hawkins is betting users will become hooked, yield to the demands of their alter-ego avatars and cough up a monthly subscription fee somewhere in the region of Euro 5- Euro6 per month (can’t say for sure until the launch).
		Hawkins also told me Digital Chocolate also holds some patents that will allow it to introduce “packets of digital characters that are different assets in different applications.
