Another pathetic attempt for Activision to earn more money.
Do you remember Jason West and Vince Zampella? They were the 2 original co-founders of Infinity Ward which created the Hit Franchise Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and were fired before Modern Warfare 2 hit stores so Activision would not have to pay West and Zampella royalties for what they have created.
West and Zampella have then created their own studio and signed up with rival EA to produce games for EA. Activision, not wanting to let this go have decided to sue West and Zampella and have decided to add EA to the list in order to claim damages which probably never existed to begin with.
Jeff Brown, a spokesman for EA, called the Activision suit a "PR play filled with pettiness and deliberate misdirection," adding that "Activision wants to hide the fact that they have no credible response to the claim of two artists who were fired and now just want to get paid for their work."
Robert Schwartz, an attorney for Messrs. West and Zampella, called Activision's filing a "pathetic mash-up of false and reckless assertions, designed only to delay the march to justice for Jason West and Vince Zampella."
The complaint filed by Activision says: "To find Electronic Arts's desperate motive to conspire to break these legal contracts ahead of their expiration dates, all one has to do is to look at the company's precipitous decline in stature with investors and, most importantly, in the eyes of game players who demand innovation and excitement,"
So Activision has no credible evidence and are liars for stating that Players demand innovation and excitement, something that Activision's title do not provide to players everywhere.
