Infinity Ward Founders Suing Activision

The two Call of Duty developers that were unceremoniously fired earlier this week have filed a lawsuit against Activision over unpaid royalties. Considering how much money Modern Warfare 2 has made, you would think a settlement would require a substantial amount of money. Thanks to [H] forum member Fail for the link.

"Activision has refused to honor the terms of its agreements and is intentionally flouting the fundamental public policy of this State (California) that employers must pay their employees what they have rightfully earned," said the pair's attorney, Robert Schwartz, of law firm O'Melveny & Myers. "Instead of thanking, lauding, or just plain paying Jason and Vince for giving Activision the most successful entertainment product ever offered to the public, last month Activision hired lawyers to conduct a pretextual 'investigation' into unstated and unsubstantiated charges of 'insubordination' and 'breach of fiduciary duty,' which then became the grounds for their termination on Monday, March 1st."
