William Jervis Livingstone (1865–1915) was the manager of the Magomero Estate in Nyasaland owned by A L Bruce Estates Ltd and was killed in 1915 during the uprising against colonial rule led by John Chilembwe.
 Livingstone, from the Isle of Lismore, was born in Argyllshire, Scotland in 1865 and appointed as manager of Magomero in 1893.
 Although he experimented with growing coffee and later cotton, the estate was not a financial success and Livingstone imposed increasingly harsh labour demands on the estate workers there.
 He was also accused of the brutal mistreatment treatment of those workers.
 Although Livingstone originated both the excessive work demands and brutal treatment, they were the results of the pressures for financial success that were sustained by Alexander Livingstone Bruce, a director and 40% shareholder in A L Bruce Estates Ltd after he came to live in Nyasaland from 1908.
 Bruce considered independent African churches were subversive, and instructed Livingstone to destroy the churches that Chilembwe built on the Magomero estate.
 Chilembwe's grievances about colonial rule and the oppression of African estate workers came to focus on William Jervis Livingstone and, when he initiated his revolt on 23 January 1915, Chilembwe ordered some of his men to attack the A L Bruce Estates, to kill all European men and to return with Livingstone's head.
 Livingstone and three others, including Duncan MacCormick also from Lismore and an African servant were killed at Magomero, but the women and children were left unharmed on Chilembwe's instructions.
 In the aftermath of uprising, Livingstone was blamed for the harsh and unsatisfactory conditions on the A L Bruce Estates, whereas Alexander Livingstone Bruce escaped censure.
 More recently, William Livingstone's character has been re-examined and, although undoubtedly a violent man, he is also regarded as reacting to the demands made by Alexander Livingstone Bruce which he found impossible to meet.

 Founded in November 2011 as a traditional studio with plans to create a new "Hitman" series game for consoles and employ several hundred people, its mandate changed in 2013 when it became its parent company's choice studio to produce mobile games, beginning with the "Hitman" franchise.
 The company developed prototypes for two mobile "Hitman" games, which became the board game-inspired puzzle game "Hitman Go" (2014) and the shooter "" (2015).
 The commercial success of the latter and the critical success of the former led to two additional titles in the "Go" series: "Lara Croft Go" (2015), based on the "Tomb Raider" series, and "Deus Ex Go" (2016), based on the "Deus Ex" series.
