Activision sues EA for conspiracy
Activision - Blizzard has filed a motion to amend their countersuit against the former Infinity Ward execs and EA.
"New evidence" brought to light apparently shows that Vince Zampella and Jason West actively conspired with Electronic Arts to conspire against Activision - Blizzard to "derail Activision's Call of Duty franchise, disrupt its Infinity Ward development studio, and inflict serious harm on the company."
As a result of the motion filed by Activision, EA is now also a cross-defendant and Activision seeks $400 million in compensation for "actual and punitive damages from EA and the former executives, including profits Activision would have made but for EA's interference, costs incurred in rebuilding the affected studio, and damages suffered as a result of delays and disruptions." Furthermore they requested the court to "recapture compensation previously awarded to its faithless executives" and "to prevent Electronic Arts and the former executives from benefiting from their illegal conduct."
That last sentence may hint at an attempt to stop West and Zampella to create a new first person shooter for EA.
"New evidence" brought to light apparently shows that Vince Zampella and Jason West actively conspired with Electronic Arts to conspire against Activision - Blizzard to "derail Activision's Call of Duty franchise, disrupt its Infinity Ward development studio, and inflict serious harm on the company."
The 39-page document details the history of Infinity Ward, the Call of Duty franchise and the public termination of its two founders, West and Zampella. It seeks to prove that West and Zampella colluded with Electronic Arts, despite having more than two years on their employment contract. The suit reveals that, following a private meeting in August 2009 at EA CEO John Riccitiello's house in San Francisco -- coordinated by CAA agent and former Xbox face Seamus Blackley -- CAA enlisted the help of lawyer Harold Brown to evaluate their employment contracts. Brown was ostensibly chosen because he is a "former Activision board member and former legal counsel to Activision."
After the meeting, Activision alleges that West and Zampella continued colluding with Electronic Arts, going so far as to "covertly copy certain materials." Quotes from an email between West and Zampella include comments like, "Dunno how to scan secretely" and "Probably better to just photocopy and fedex." But it's not just documents; the suit claims that "West and Zampella continued to possess Activision confidential information long after they left which makes it likely that West and/or Zampella have misused and/or will continue to misuse valuable Activision intellectual property and trade secrets, including computer code, now that they have left Activision."
It goes even further with West even combatting efforts done by Treyarch to promote World at War:After the meeting, Activision alleges that West and Zampella continued colluding with Electronic Arts, going so far as to "covertly copy certain materials." Quotes from an email between West and Zampella include comments like, "Dunno how to scan secretely" and "Probably better to just photocopy and fedex." But it's not just documents; the suit claims that "West and Zampella continued to possess Activision confidential information long after they left which makes it likely that West and/or Zampella have misused and/or will continue to misuse valuable Activision intellectual property and trade secrets, including computer code, now that they have left Activision."
[An] unnamed IW employee texted West, "treyarch released their mp dlc video." West responded, "Super nice? We release our video? Crush and destroy with our video." The unnamed employee replied, "We already did. And . . . we already did" to which West concluded, "Nice."
When West was confronted with the fact that they launched a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 trailer on the same day as Treyarch's trailer for the World at War DLC, he said he didn't know Treyarch's trailer was released. "We released on the same day as you because we had no clue you were releasing anything. We are not happy about it."
Well, that was clearly a lie :)As a result of the motion filed by Activision, EA is now also a cross-defendant and Activision seeks $400 million in compensation for "actual and punitive damages from EA and the former executives, including profits Activision would have made but for EA's interference, costs incurred in rebuilding the affected studio, and damages suffered as a result of delays and disruptions." Furthermore they requested the court to "recapture compensation previously awarded to its faithless executives" and "to prevent Electronic Arts and the former executives from benefiting from their illegal conduct."
