Title: Another company taking a dump on their top talent

Long story short: allegedly the heads of Infinity Ward left the studio. Activision owns Infinity Ward. I don't know, do the math.

Reminds me a bit of Clover for some reason.

The plot thickens!

Website BingeGamer (via VG247) was told by a collection of unnamed sources that not a single penny of the $1bn generated by MW2 has been seen by Infinity Ward.

Maybe SEGA should offer some jobs, they obviously know how to manage a studio. SEGA west does need more studios, especially America. :3

"Sarge, why the fuck is Eggman invading Green Hill again anyway?"
*Explosion*
"DANGER CLOSE MEN! Ramire- I mean Shadow! Go get that Javelin and take out all of Eggman's bots, the rest of you stay frosty! Those missiles are Oscar Mike to Eggman hoo-ah!"

Sega America should jump at this... JUMP AT IT.

I suspect a good number of IWs members to leave, Sega should clean up like they did with clover/platinum.

It would be really good for them as they really need an FPS series.

In addition to compensation, the suit seeks to return the contractual rights Zampella and West previously had to the Modern Warfare brand.
