Had to laugh when I read this;

In their initial filing in the suit against Activision, former Infinity Ward employees Jason West and Vince Zampella are claiming they are the reasons behind the pheonomenal success of the Call of Duty and Modern Warfare series, with the pair being 'among the most successful and talented video game developers in the world.'

In the WORLD!

Technically, if you're not the single worst developer in the world, you're one of the best in the world.

It's all spin and how you sell it anyway.

It irritates me that in order to get anywhere nowadays, you need to whore yourself out to every prospective employer... :(

Har.

And actually, they probably have as much a right to say that as James Cameron has a right to say he is one of the best mocie directors in the world. Sales bring about respect within the industry.

Activision on Thursday countersued former Infinity Ward executives Jason West and Vince Zampella, who sued Activision for more than $36 million in March.


The men "morphed from valued, responsible executives into insubordinate and self-serving schemers who attempted to hijack Activision's assets for their own personal gain and whose actions threatened both the future of the Call of Duty franchise and future of Activision's (Infinity Ward) studio," the complaint states.

Lol I had a laugh reading about the so called "morph" ...
maybe they are some sort of T-mutant now ? ... :roll:

somehow I believe activision did forget that IW was made because the devs didn't want to be tied to a single license ...

A number of Infinity Ward developers jumped ship to join the new studio, dubbed Respawn Entertainment, while others simply resigned. Last month, a group of 38 former and current Infinity Ward developers sued Activision for as much as $625 million, alleging the publisher had been withholding royalty and bonus payments due them.
