Ex-IW heads' lawyer: Activision is only fishing

modern_warfare_2_02More on the ongoing Infinity Ward-Activision showdown. Reportedly, an internal memo reveals Activision to be searching for documentation that will prove that the sacked IW duo, West and Zampella, have in fact been planning on leaving Activision. Even more, they believe that the two were leaving to jump ship to Electronic Arts.

 

But according to their lawyer, Bobby Schwartz, "Any suggestion that they were in talks with EA (or any other company) to leave or start their own team is known to Activision to be completely false and, therefore, an irresponsible comment for Activision to be making. They are fishing, and there no fish in the sea."

 

He also gave further insight as to why the lawsuit was filed, saying, "[West and Zampella] have a contract that spells out their rights to control future Modern Warfare 2 games, after Modern Warfare 2."

Yeah but it was supposedly IW's idea to kill ded servers for MW2PC because they were too cheap to run an auth server like Valve has to effectivly manage piracy for the last 15 years. If that is actually true, then I wouldn't pee on West and Zampella even if they were on fire.

ihade a rude chat with a IW dev last year about the stupid IW aspect and concept and he told me , that activision who wanted MW2 to be like that not IW . but when avtivision want to intruduce a MMO company to work with a hight skilled mooders and gamers in IW , they go so far , they already killed COD with the MW2 and they ask IW for a COD every year , its a clear no respect to players and ripping , i hope a IW total MOVE to EA or codmasters ..
