If you play Modern Warfare 2, you just might be busy racking another kill. But the people who made the game are in another round of their own combat. Activision, the game’s publisher, tells Kotaku this battle was necessary.
On the heels of filing a lawsuit accusing Jason West and Vince Zampella, the recently-fired former heads of Modern Warfare development studio Infinity Ward, the game’s publisher offered a little more light on its actions. In a statement to Kotaku, the publisher said:
So now there is one lawsuit from each side. The stakes are the millions of dollars demanded by West and Zampella and, just maybe, the fate of their contention that they, not Activison, have the right to green light any Modern Warfare games set after the Vietnam War.
Kotaku will have more on this war of war-game makers as it breaks.
