Judge: Activision's suit against EA and former IW heads can proceed
4.7
A California judge has ruled that the lawsuit filed by Activision against former Infinity Ward studio heads Vince Zampella and Jason West can move forward. EA originally filed to dismiss the case after Activision claimed that its rival colluded with West and Zampella while they were still under contract, but California Superior Court Judge Elihu Berle decided today that there was enough evidence for the case to go on towards trial.
EA can still file a request for a summary judgment, so there's still one more option for the courts to reject Activision's claims of collusion and avoid actually going to trial. If that request isn't filed or the judgment doesn't eventually pass, then the lawsuit itself is set to go to trial in May of this year.
GCMoDz sorry guys im dumb and english is not my first language so what does this mean?
Activision, the people that created Black ops are suing Infinity Ward, the people that created Cod 4 and Modern warfare 2. They are suing because Activision and Infinity Ward had a contract to work together, but Infinity Ward back stabbed Activision by helping out a company named West, and Zampella.
/Facepalm
I know you were trying to help but you couldn't be any more wrong.
West and Zampella are not companies, they were the studio heads at Infinity Ward.
Activision (publisher) did not make BO, Treyarch (developer) made Black Op's under Activision same as Infinity Ward made MW2 under Acivision.
Enlighten you knowledge here if you want to know why there is a lawsuit.
