Its been difficult trying to find a somewhat credible source to cite regarding the ruckus happening at Infinity Ward and Activision. For those who do not know who Infinity Ward is, they are, in my opinion, one of the best game developers, responsible for creating the best games of the Call of Duty series.

The ruckus that's happening is that the producers of the Call of duty series, Activision, have just recently fired the two CEO's at Infinity Ward, Jason West and Vince Zampella. Aside from rumors, the most coherent reason why they were fired is because the were charged for "insubordination" and "breach of fiduciary duty". From what I gather, the CEO's were suspected of co-operating with a rival producer (EA).

However there are always two sides to every story. As many people know, Infinity Ward released the best selling game of all time, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. This game made apparently over a billion dollars. However, this money went entirely to Activision, and Infinity Ward did not receive a single dollar in ROYALTIES. I mean if the product I made made a billion dollars, I personally would also like a piece of that.

However I could not care less about this overflowed talk of policies and lawsuits and stupid white collar crime mumbo jumbo. The reason why I thought this was an important blog topic is because this type of activity could set a premise for ways people act in the future. I mean if you dumb it down it just seems like a stupid argument between 8 year olds. Tom (Infinity Ward) and Tim (Activision) made a snow fort (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2) and Tim took all the credit and kicked Tom out of the fort, and Tim refuses to share the fort with Tom.

What happened to the good old days where everything was fair and these deals would be done straight up without any sort of legal contract. At this day and age its easier to find gold then trust.

Thank you for reading :D
