good luck with that
From The Escapist's newsroom:
"In the amendment, the suit talks about a "police state-like atmosphere" that drove Infinity Ward employees away. Before West and Zampella were fired by Activision, members of Infinity Ward were allegedly subjected to secret "interrogations" as security personnel manned the exits. 40% of the promised bonuses due to the sales of Modern Warfare 2 were paid out, but the suit says that the rest was withheld until Modern Warfare 3 was completed by a required deadline of November 2011."
Well, there go the employee's.
EDIT:
EA CEO John Riccitiello criticized Treyarch/Sledgehammer, saying that while yes, Black Ops sold better than Modern Warfare 2, the average review score was lower. "Treyarch still isn't a studio on par with the original Infinity Ward just yet."
Activision made a counter-suit against West, Zampella and now EA on the grounds that Electronic Arts was intentionally seducing West and Zampella behind Activision's backs. They want 400 million in damages.
Lol.
