Activision pays $42 million to ex-Infinity Ward members – Report

drunkentyger — Tue, 15 May 2012 13:19:07 +0000

Reports claim the Call of Duty publisher awarded the sum to former Infinity Ward members following an evidence review; trial will still go ahead.

Reports have surfaced today on both Polygon and Gamasutra claiming that Activision has paid a sum of $ 42 million to a group of 40 former Infinity Ward members implicated in an upcoming lawsuit with the Call of Duty publisher.

Activision wants to focus its efforts entirely on ex-Infinity Ward heads West and Zampella.

According to the reports–both of which cite an anonymous source close to the case–Activision paid the $ 42 million to the group representing former Infinity Ward heads Vince West and Jason Zampella after reviewing the evidence for the ongoing lawsuit over West and Zampella’s 2010 firing, and subsequent establishment of Respawn Entertainment with Electronic Arts.

Both Polygon and Gamasutra reported that the sum paid by Activison is not part of a settlement.

Instead, the sum is what the publisher believes the former employees are owed after reviewing trial evidence and reportedly finding that it does not implicate the group’s 40 members. It is reported that Activision will now focus its legal efforts entirely on West and Zampella.

In March this year, Activision scored a partial victory in the suit, when a judge dismissed one of two fraud claims brought against the publisher by West and Zampella.

Activision claims that it fired the pair because they were secretly planning to start their new studio with the help of Electronic Arts, while still employed with the Call of Duty publisher. West and Zampella claim that the real reason they were fired was so that Activision wouldn’t have to pay them millions of dollars in royalties associated with Modern Warfare 2. Beyond the performance-based payout and any other court-awarded monetary damages, West and Zampella are seeking to gain co-ownership of the Modern Warfare brand. If successful in court, West and Zampella would have the right to create and release both old and new installments in the Modern Warfare franchise.

According to the reports, the trial is set to take place on May 29.

The Witcher dev hiring for two new RPGs

drunkentyger — Mon, 14 May 2012 18:21:19 +0000

Polish studio CD Projekt Red seeking staffers for a brand-new intellectual property that may include guns, and a separate project in “mature dark-fantasy world.”

The Witcher developer CD Projekt Red is currently at work on two all-new role-playing games–a new intellectual property and a project set in a “mature dark-fantasy universe”–according to job listings posted at the Polish developer’s website.

CD Projekt Red is cooking up two new RPGs.

As for the new intellectual property, a blog post on the firm’s website indicates the new project will be a “vast role-playing game,” which will be built from the ground up. The developer presently has nine open positions for this project, including calls for artists, animators, and programmers.

CD Projekt Red is teasing that the game will include guns in some fashion, a departure from the fantasy world it became known for with The Witcher. The job listings for this project use the image of a gun as a bullet point, and the blog post includes a line that reads, “And hell, no matter if it’s with guns or swords, we’re just having a good time here.”

Concerning the new “mature dark-fantasy world” role-playing game at CD Projekt Red, firm details on this game are similarly thin. There are nine positions for this title currently available, including calls for a quest designer, animator, and cinematic artist.

This project may be a follow-up to 2011′s The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, which notched warm review scores and sold over 1.1 million copies on the PC alone. A line from the blog post indicates the title will be set in a universe that the developer has previously worked in, and known for “dwarves, elves, and sorceresses,” a description applicable to the Witcher franchise.
