Activision pays $42 million to Infinity Ward Employee Group
That group sought $75 million to $125 million, plus punitive damages. IWEG attorney Bruce Isaacs told Polygon that "although it is a meaningful payment it is only a small portion of what we are seeking in litigation." And it is still going forward with said litigation. Isaacs said the payment was a "cynical attempt to look good before the jury trial."

HumanOasis Reading through the comments I see hardly anyone knows what this is actually about. I'm not going to sit here and explain it all, but I would suggest that the scrubs that keep posting do a little reading fist. That might help you avoid any future embarrassment.
Anyhooo, I hope this payment means that the Black Ops 2 'not too distant future setting' dispute can be let to rest. I also wonder how much of that money Jason and Vince will end up with, probably a big chunk. The whole thing is a joke.
As far as I know this is independent of Black Ops 2... I think you should learn to know what you're talking about.
can any one read "former Infinity Ward leads Jason West and Vince Zampella" "former" Jason and Vince do not work for IW any more they have gone over to Respawn. so know that most of the money landed in the hads of former IW members and will not be using the money on a so called better cod.
I think Jason West and Vince Zampella made the best call of duty games cod 4 and MW2 so... that explains why mw3 sucked

tbendixVest Yay 1st Post! Anyways This is Crazy. 42 Million over a Game? Come on, Thats too Much Money over a Video Game. Anyone Agree.
1. no one cares you're first
2. Stop Typing Like This
3. i don't really understand this article... it's a bit vague. Why did they want profits from Modern Warfare 2?
They said they were never paid for their work on MW2 and want royalities of the game.
confused
