Jake West and Vince Zampella, former President and CEO of Infinity Ward respectively, have begun legal proceedings over their firings at Activision.
As reported earlier in the week, Activision fired West and Zampella under unusual circumstances. A press release by the company cited breach of contract and “insubordination”, though the exact details around these reasons have not been released. In response, the two have fired back with a $36M lawsuit. They accuse Activision of manufacturing a reason to fire the pair so as to avoid paying them royalties for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Activision has said they are “disappointed” in the lawsuit but believe they are justified in the firings. More on the situation as it develops.
