Apparently a number of lead developers at Infinity Ward, the Activision-Blizzard studio responsible for the Call of Duty series, have been fired. The company, along with the US Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating "breaches of contract and insubordination," and the matter "is expected to involve the departure of key personnel and litigation."
lol, Activision should have a ball with more Treyarch MW games because fans totally love those. Whatever it was must've been huge because IW's Modern Warfare is one of their top 3 for Activision/Blizzard. I wonder if they were trying to nab the IW team and get out from under Activision.
This all reminds me of the last episode of Mad Men in Season 3. lol

I bet the insubordination was the fact they suggested dedicated servers for their next game. ;)
A bunch of 30 sumthins with too much money...let the brats fight it out...if they don't have sigificant proof of their firings, I see a court legality issues....
The SEC being involved implies this is a real case, likely involving fraud of some sort, or a high-level contract breach. You can't manufacture a "publicity stunt" that involves the US government.

If anyone's keeping up with this or still interested, Joystiq has a breakup tag dedicated to all the recent IW news, the most notable being that recently up to 9 Infinity Ward employees have resigned so far and the heads at Infinity Ward (that were originally fired by Activision) at newly setup Respawn Entertainment (. . .) are now partnered with Electronic Arts.
