I'm with you. This seems just way too weird. I haven't the faintest as to what the hell is the meaning of all this. "
I'm lost too. How would the relationship between Activision and IW be "tense"? Their games make a lot of money. Isn't that all Bobby Kotick cares about?
I figure the meeting went badly and they're laying off QA (and maybe some other people), since they don't have a game out for a while, and it's a big expense. Think like Activision. It's about the bottom line. They sent security because they're unsure how IW will take the news, because the heads probably freaked out about it.

I thought it was. Seems like IW had a good deal going, too, making a COD game every two years and having them sell like gangbusters. Somebody's gotta get on the horn and get some solid info!

Bobby Kotick is taking care of business aka fucking Vince Zampella and Jason West up.
"Ten years ago, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team. "

" I think we definitely have been able to instill the culture, the skepticism and pessimism and fear that you should have in an economy like we are in today. And so, while generally people talk about the recession, we are pretty good at keeping people focused on the deep depression." -Bobby Kotick

Infinity Ward doesn't like the fact that other developers (Treyarch) make COD games. I'm sure the F.A.G.S. video didn't help relations either.
" If Jason West's Twitter feed is to be believed, he's no longer with Infinity Ward. "
Link? "
This screen capture was posted by a commenter on Kotaku a few minutes ago:
"
There's nothing on the Jason West twitter account that was linked to via the now-dead staff list. Has he got another one? Also there's more than one Facebook comment thread generator out there. "
The person that posted this on Kotaku would only state that he received this from an acquaintance that works at IW and refused to say anything further, lest he get him/her in trouble.
