Activision Vs Ex IW Heads Court Documents.

Post by Vigil on Fri Mar 05, 2010 7:20 pm

Oh it's been a good week, as the spat between Activison and Jason West and Vince Zampella, the recently fired heads of Infinity Ward goes to court. Joystiq somehow managed to obtain the documents to their lawsuit against their former employers, and it's filled with juicy dirt about how they were sacked just weeks from being played royalties and Activision was trying to take over complete control over their game, pushing IW to make the game faster and the way they wanted.

Have a look at it yourself

My response to all this.

I've been following this story, and it just keeps on making Activision look evil.

They are evil. Activision is just a slightly smaller version of EA.

Indeed, I always figured they did stuff like this in the background, now some people have come out and basically confirmed it.

I hope this goes to court, as more dirt with probably come out, and it will expose Activison as the douchebags they are.

I actually feel sorry for the IW people, tbh.

As Civ said, Activision is just a smaller EA.

Activision is a terrible company, they think they can re-release the same game 5 times in a row. Remember, before MW, there was Tony Hawk's pro skater, and at least THPS was somewhat different from version to version.

Yeah, I just liked using the map maker to make ridiculous, impossible maps. I think the games did get a little more boring as new versions came out, my favorite was THPS 2, because you could run over the bull feces in that arena.

Plus, all the glitches were ridiculous, like making your character's shoes gigantic.

THPS 3 was also fun.

Ever heard of Origin, Westwood, or Maxis. EA's crimes against these companies equate to crimes against humanity, and EA will be punished accordingly.

And the fact the only reason EA still is as successful as it is, bioils down to EA sports licenses, which they exploit by putting the same games out annually.

They barely take any risks, though they have been trying with games like Mirror's Edge and Dead Space.

They also have a tendancy to make the player spend as much money as possible for virtually worthless DLC.
