Anybody been following all of this? Some really interesting stuff, in fact better than the in-game stories lol. Good read anyway.

Here's the article from EuroGamer,

Activision vs. Vince Zampella and Jason West: Inside the game industry trial of the decade • Articles • Eurogamer.net

And here's an interview of creators of COD, Jason West/Vince Zampella and their lawyer Robert Schwartz.

Respawn's West And Zampella Sound Off On Upcoming Activision Lawsuit - Features - www.GameInformer.com

Its only one side of the case, have to see what Activision would say about all of this. But I do feel sorry for these guys, all of their hard work on the game and the tech, left out with nothing except for the 35+ ex IW employees.

Share your op on this..

Very long article. I hope that Activision lose this case and pay them billion dollars. That would teach them a lesson.

Nah they won't. I remember reading some article quoting Kotick that he'd rather pay the lawyers than waste money on game developers.
