Ousted Studio Heads Sue Activision

I can understand their claim because they are going to get a ton of royalties from Modern Warfare 2 or any other games in that franchise. I can see the company cooking up some phony excuse and getting cheaper talent in there to make any other Modern Warfare games.

Two game studio heads fired by Activision this week are suing the video game publisher, saying it let them go to avoid paying hefty royalties from the popular "Call of Duty."

In a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, Jason West and Vince Zampella are seeking damages "in excess of $36 million," as well as future royalties.

This should be the talk of the gaming world once it goes to trial.
