Activision pay former Infinty Ward wages after MW2, but still take the piss with ex-studio heads; Activision = FAIL

Danny still needs to become interested in the new IP. If for nothing else, to poke fun at the MmO.

Well said and heard Scruff.

It's like I said though, references and comparisons are going to be used frequently so unless it literally morphs into a different convo, I think we're Gouda cheese.
I'm willing to comply with whatever makes things easier. Just again, we worried about a similar thing on my other site and while the "traffic" was about the same, we posted on a much more frequent frame than y'all do here. Our issue was that we actually HAD people randomly signing up and then they just "do what they want". This site is much more tight knit in the people that post are the same people every day just about. We'd have a random troll or two every couple weeks or, the pattern of Who was posting this week vs that would change.

Whatever works, I'm all for. And the Gerald picture is absolute GOLD!

Just read this now, was published on the 24th May '12 by Andy McNamara from GameInformer.com, but it is a great read; it is an interview with former Infinty Ward/CoD 4: Modern Warfare & CoD: MW2 heads Jason West and Vince Zampella:

Respawn's West And Zampella Sound Off On Upcoming Activision Lawsuit.

At the end of the second page, you can click and download three public exhibits of West and Zampella's evidence against Activison.

The first shows emails between '...Dave Stohl [Activision executive vice president of worldwide studios] and Mike Griffith [Activision president of publishing] that took place on Jan 26, 2009, 14 months before Jason and Vince were removed from Infinity Ward' [Gameinformer.com, 24.05.12].

The second is a public exhibit of ...2008 MoU between Infinity Ward and Activision. [Gameinformer.com, 24.05.12].

The third is a public exhibit of '...regarding Project Icebreaker.' [Gameinformer.com, 24.05.12].

Just saw that myself. Much like the Eduardo Saverin incident with FB, they claim we may never know the actual settlement amount. Not that I'd care anyway.

I kind of knew it was going to just settle. Those 2 seem more like assets than anything. I'm chalking it up to a notion of Shit Happens but then again, i didn't really follow the story that closely.

In light of this (though not directly related), I am immensely pleased at the camaraderie between 343 and Bungie, esp. in light of E3.

Bungie's Tweet congratulating 343 for their work
343's Gracious Response

I know they all know each other & stuff, but it's good to see not all studios hate each other :)

Bungie wouldn't have handed over the keys if they didn't trust 'em. Much agreed though. I hate when a studio shuts down and so many projects and potential IP's and such get shafted and we miss out on possible amazing games.
