Activision's legal action against former Infinity Ward heads Vince Zampella and Jason West has gained further weight, with Electronic Arts officially added to the list of defendants in the $400m cross-complaint. The accusations against the Redwood software behemoth include a protracted campaign to lure Zampella and West away from their contractual commitments to Activision.

Activision has lost their shit.

This is going to be so drawn out.

Doesn't Activision have boat loads more money than EA? They could probably buy them with just their WoW money alone. LOL.

I have a feeling EA ends up settling.

They both have a ton.

When you get up in that echelon of funds, I think it becomes a moot point.

Oh, I know they both have boat loads. But hasn't EA been losing a lot of cash from newer IP's that didn't pan out plus the Rock Band games sales have been shrinking like an 80 year old mans dick.

Most definitely. EA has been losing hand-over-fist for a while, but they still have enough to fight this.

Mostly because protecting Respawn, who will likely make them a bunch of money in the future, is imperative.

So true. Respawn will be their golden egg laying goose besides Madden.

Those two sound like the two biggest douches. What a couple of clowns.

[Twigg4075]

I've said that feom the beginning. When this story broke most people immediately backed these clowns and assumed Activision was entirely at fault. Besaed on all the info that was released these clowns sounded like they were 100% in the wrong.

West and Zampella have settled with Activision per reporters on Twitter.
