Vi har tidigare skrivit om en konflikt mellan Modern Warfare-skaparna Infinity Ward och utgivaren Activision och nu trappas konflikten upp. Före detta Infinity Ward-cheferna Jason West och Vince Zampella som nyligen fått sluta ska nu stämma Activision.
Man stämmer utgivaren för utebliven ersättning och menar att Activision avslutade kontrakten för att slippa behöva betala royalties:
"Activision terminated their employment weeks before they were to be paid substantial royalty payments as part of their existing contracts for Modern Warfare 2," skriver man i ett uttalande.
Konflikten handlar dock inte bara om pengar, utan även om vem som ska få kontrollera framtiden för Modern Warfare-serien. Uttalandet fortsätter:
"Activision seized control of the Infinity Ward studio, to which Activision had previously granted creative control over all Modern Warfare-branded games. The suit was filed to vindicate the rights of West and Zampella to be paid the compensation they have earned, as well as the contractual rights Activision granted to West and Zampella to control Modern Warfare-branded games."
