The Return of the Lawsuit

Just when you think a certain news topic has finally been laid to rest, some stupid company (i'm looking at you Activision) decides they haven't had enough bad press yet. So with that said, Activision have added EA to their lawsuit again ex-Infinity Ward heads, Jason West and Vince Zampella. Activision are claiming that EA actively interfered with contracts, engaged in unfair competitive practices and aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary duty (yes, i had to google that too) by the executives. Basically Activision is saying that EA were courting West and Zampella while they were still under contract with Infinity Ward and encouraging their exit from the company. The claim of the lawsuit is now $400 million dollars against West, Zampella & EA, with the countersuit by West, Zampella and 40 other ex-Infinity Ward employees still happening too. Jeff Brown, of EA, said that this action "is a PR play filled with pettiness and misdirection. Activision wants to hide the fact that they have no credible response to the claim of two artists who were fired and now just want to get paid for their work." I guess neither Activision nor EA will be having a very merry christmas... As for the fans, i'm wondering if anyone even cares anymore.
