Shit's goin' down at IW

Minitrue and Minilove, how we adore thee.

Wow wtf, I think someone needs to get in there with the whole "you know this is just a video game, right?" attitude.

[Amit]

IS that shit real? That's some 1984 bullshit going down right there.

[paladin]

I don't agree with the way Activision is treating anyone, however ejburke does have a point that a contract is a contract, and if it was breached, then Activision is in the legal right. All the more reason to read through those contracts and/or EULAs before you blindly sign off on them or agree. However, if Activision is trying to jump through some loopholes just to screw IW, then they can suck it.

Just a video game putting millions of dollars in their pockets. Almost 300 million on the first day to be exact...

[Cortexian]

Obviously, but you're missing the point.

[Pooky]

I want to be glad about this because of what a horrible MP game MW2 is, but I can't

I just hope that whoever gets put in their place can do a better job.

Another quote from the lawsuit:

From the very beginning, it was clear that the purpose of the investigation was not to uncover any facts concerning any actual wrongdoing, but to manufacture a basis to fire West and Zampella.

If they're right, then Activision basically screwed them over.

If activision found legit info that proves they breached contract that sucks cause it looks like all they're doing is trying to fuck over iw. Regardless of how much mw2 sucked these guys put years of very clear effort into this game, that doesn't mean they don't deserve to get paid. It was their work and every employee deserves their as much as those two deserve their royalties. That goes for any game delevoper out there not just IW
