Looks like two of the Bosses at Infinity Ward have been fired by Activision, Jason West & Vince Zampella that is. I bet this one rumble for a while. I don't really care tbh to be honest, CoD has been getting slowly worse for quite some time in my opinion.

Seems Vince and Jason are now suing Activision, to be expected I guess.

"Activision has refused to honour 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 their attorney Robert Schwartz.

"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 1."

"After all we have given to Activision, we shouldn't have to sue to get paid," added Zampella.
