Activision goes to war: Lawsuits, countersuits and $1b at stake
Activision is being sued by former Infinity Ward leads Jason West and Vince Zampella for breach of contract following their termination in 2010. Activision is countersuing West and Zampella, alleging insubordination, and even got Electronic Arts included in the countersuit for allegedly scheming to "inflict serious harm on the company." Add to that mix a group of former Infinity Ward employees suing Activision for unpaid royalties and you've got the legal equivalent of an arms race.
