Een nieuwe dag en vers nieuws in de soap die Infinity Ward heet. Vandaag hebben 38 mensen onder de naam Infinity Ward Employee Group een rechtzaak opgezet tegen Infinity Ward. Want dit bedrijf weigert de bonussen van Modern Warfare 2 uit te betalen aan de mensen die aan deze titel hebben gewerkt. Bovendien weigeren ze ook het geld te betalen aan de mensen die nu ontslag hebben genomen en bij Respawn aan de slag zijn gegaan. Volgende aflevering van deze soap op hetzelfde kanaal, so stay tuned!

The suit alleges, according to G4 TV, that the payments were withheld to prevent employees from quitting Activision.

"In short, Activision withheld the property of the IWEG in an attempt to keep the employees hostage so that Activision could reap the benefit of the completion of Modern Warfare 3, " according to the suit.

Reached for comment Tuesday afternoon, an Activision spokesperson refuted the allegations:

"Activision believes the action is without merit," the spokesperson said. "Activision retains the discretion to determine the amount and the schedule of bonus payments for MW2 and has acted consistent with its rights and the law at all times. We look forward to getting judicial confirmation that our position is right."

Former Infinity Ward heads Jason West and Vince Zampella filed a lawsuit against their former publisher in March, seeking $36 million unpaid royalties and alleging an "Orwellian," "pre-ordained" investigation designed to "manufacture a basis to fire" the studio founders.

Since the firing of West and Zampella, the two former studio heads have gone on to establish Respawn Entertainment and sign on with Electronic Arts, their formal rival. Dozens of Infinity Ward employees have since voluntarily left the Encino-based studio, with a portion of those departures joining Respawn.
