Activision have spoken to Kotaku, saying they are "disappointed" by the lawsuits filed by Infinity Ward.
Activision has claimed it had "unfulfilled obligations" in its justifications for its actions, that in-turn caused the firing and break-up of Activision and Infinity Ward executives Vince Zampella and Jason West. The two responded with a lawsuit, claiming they are owed more than US$30 Million in royalties for Modern Warfare 2.
"Activision is disappointed that Mr. Zampella and Mr. West have chosen to file a lawsuit, and believes their claims are meritless," an Activision spokesperson said.
"Over eight years, Activision shareholders provided these executives with the capital they needed to start Infinity Ward, as well as the financial support, resources and creative independence that helped them flourish and achieve enormous professional success and personal wealth.
"In return, Activision legitimately expected them to honor their obligations to Activision, just like any other executives who hold positions of trust in the company. While the company showed enormous patience, it firmly believes that its decision was justified based on their course of conduct and actions. Activision remains committed to the Call of Duty franchise, which it owns, and will continue to produce exciting and innovative games for its millions of fans."
And the saga continues.
