For those of you following the interesting drama between Activision (one of the industry’s largest publishers) and former heads of Activision owned studio Infinity Ward, Jason West and Vince Zampella, there has been a new development. Activision has filed a cross-claim against West and Zampella which provides us with all sorts of insights into the relationship between the two companies, the millions of dollars in compensation at stake, and the first glimpse at the path Activision is taking to get their money, equity, and employees back.
I’ve written a dissection of the cross-claim for GamePolitics, which breaks down some of the more confusing legal bits into layman’s terms. Check it out here.
