They really don't give a fuck.
Infinity Ward's leadership got sacked/let off/left because Activision are faggots. I told you about MW2 and WaW Christ shit.

Then they splinter off, form a new studio, go back to their roots, create new IP etc.

This makes me very happy, circle of gaming.

I bet this all started because of World at War, seriously, what right do Treyarch have to finish the original CoD series?!

Oh wait Infinity Ward don't have the right Activision seized it from them.

I think that was more Infinity Wards decision. After COD2 the original series went to shit.

>My understanding from inside sources are that the two execs at IW were on a tele-conference with the Activision execs and were being confronted about their discussions with a rival publisher. Apparently companies talk to each other. Who da thunk? At any rate in the middle of the conference one of the IW guys, Jason West, started muttering something under his breath. It was barely audible at first but he started to get louder and louder until it became clear he was saying:

>"Suck my dick, Michael".

>He just kept repeating it and getting louder and louder until finally he was screaming at the top of his lungs. It was made doubly loud because the other IW exec had joined in so it was a duet of:

>"Suck my dick, Michael"

>directed at the Activision guys. After 5 stunned minutes the Activision execs started yelling back at them that if they didn't shut up they'd be fired. This only led to the IW guys each giving the double bird (4X birds) and continuing their lusty screaming. Eventually Activision ended the call and called the security team. Apparently even after the call ended, up until the point security arrived, the two IW execs were still screaming:

>"Suck my dick, Michael."

>The really odd thing? No one on the call was named Michael.

Yup Infinity Ward are going to be free again.

Saw this about 4am this morning.

Not really surprising to me, I was already under the impression that these guys would just set up shop somewhere else, as other developers have done in the past (and succeeded as well). Furthermore, I fail to see how this is a bad thing in any sense of the word, chances are that these guy would have cut all ties with Activision once their contract finished anyway (which is probably why Activision wanted to get Treyarch to do the next CoD game so quickly). It's all a conflict of interest, I wouldn't mind more details on the "insubordination" however.

Some people claim that IW haven't been given royalties for CoD but the problem here is that, depending on their contract, they may not get anything until the end of the year. Again, depends on their contract, which we're not going to know.

We didn't need this to know Activision are gay.

Guitar Hero 5 / Band Hero are proof enough.

Agreed. Don't forget Call of Duty, hurr hurr!

I hope they get the Modern Warfare rights, it seems this was their plan from the break from Call of Duty's tarnish.

ALWAYS
BET
ON
NON-ACTIVISION MODERN WARFARE 3

by **Mr. Tastix** » Fri Mar 05, 10 2:00 am

Actually, I think their plan was to more-or-less wait until their contract ended lol. I'm not too sure if they expected to be fired however.

I mean, what kind of "insubordination" are we talking here? Has ACTIVISION even stated or are they just making bullshit claims? I loved this article myself:

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/04/activ ... uit-calls/

Yes... disappointed, eh? Well, I think I'd be pretty disappointed if I didn't get royalties from a game I helped make. A game that earned the publisher several hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. I believe MW2's cost was approximately $40-50 million (don't quote me on this), didn't they MAKE $1 BILLION from it?

EDIT: http://kotaku.com/5485703/ousted-infini ... s/gallery/

Read pages 2 and 10. Page 2 is bloody funny, it comes off as extremely arrogant on their part. Page 10 however, if true, is just plain sickening. If what they claim Activision done is sick then that's just fucking WRONG.

A lot of it seems rushed though, and worded in a way that seems catered for us, the general public, to understand. Most legal documents I've read are fucking difficult to comprehend at first but this one is just plain obvious. It's somewhat worrying.

The tension between developers and publishers and people still buying the games yet they paled to match Call of Duty 1/2 and Modern Warfare 1.

People will always buy the games, you'll ALWAYS get fanboys of a company who buy the games no matter what.

I wish developers and publishers would start working together, are they fucking stupid? It seems to be a case of either developers fucking publishers over or publishers fucking developers over. Yet, without each other, they're all be fucked in the ass anyway.

They could be like Square/Capcom in Japan - Self-published.

But then again, not everyone's got millions of millions to their name, like Square/Capcom.

Lots of developers are also their own publishers, and these people have succeeded, the problem? Cost.

As you said, not everyone's got millions to be their own publisher.

EA and Valve were a perfect partnership, EA simply just published their games. That's all.

You realise that it was Activision who made 1 billion dollars off of Infinity Ward's work? And that Infinity Ward have not been paid royalties for their work (most likely due to contractual reasons).

It's neither the developer or the publishers fault that you were idiotic enough to not see through their shit. Infinity Ward most likely do not want to make anymore Call of Duty games, or at least not under Activision's rule. Activision want to pump out one every damn year (as well as Guitar Hero games).

If people keep buying their games then Activision will keep on making 'em. Stop being retarded, stop buying their crap.

I'm talking about the developer's work. MW2 is designed for newbies. It sucks + the online is totally crap.
