Infinity Ward Fights Back; new details emerge

New details have come in about the gigantic, industry-shaking debacle between Infinity Ward and parent company Activision. As reported earlier, two of the head staff members at Infinity Ward were abruptly fired for no discernible reason. This, mere months after producing the megahit Modern Warfare 2.

We now have answers to the question “Why?”.

According to G4TV.com, both Jason West and Vince Zampella have sued Activision. Why, you ask? Their termination comes just weeks before Activision would have paid them royalties for Modern Warfare 2. Activision hired lawyers to essential find a way around California’s public policy that states that employers must pay employees what they are due, and ran with it.

There’s the answer none of us wanted to hear. Activision are being a group of greedy, corporate, heartless, cold-blooded bastards. But that’s just my opinion.
