Well the drama surrounding recent events with Activision sacking the two heads of Infinity Ward has now continued in the form of a lawsuit being filed by Jason West & Vince Zampella against their previous employer. The general reasoning behind the lawsuit is that both West & Zampella feel Activision should cough up and pay the pair their share of the profits and royalties made from the huge success of MW2's sales.
  
Check out the original article here. And for those sordid lot who want a Kotaku article check that out here as well.
 
After reading both of those articles I instantly have a few niggling questions that I'll pose to the fine folks in our community.
 

• Is there now some truth to the rumour both men were sacked due to asking for a larger than agreed share of the royalties from MW2 sales in return for releasing a third Modern Warfare titled game less than 2 years after the previous. For those unaware IW have always wished to have 2 years between the release of their COD titles while Activision would prefer a release each year. This is why Treyarch makes a COD game in the gap year between games developed by IW themselves.
• Is Activision really that ballsy and willing to publicly sack two top dogs of a development studio just so they don't have to pay them what they owe? My knowledge of American law is a little rusty but I'd guess even if the pair were sacked before the scheduled royalty payments were made that they would, somehow, still be entitled to receive them even if they are no longer employed by the company.
• Does anyone else get flashbacks to their parent's divorce when reading up on this stuff?
