Infinity Ward lawsuit: Activision is a police state!

Posted on Sunday, 11 July 2010 by Speed, source: Kotaku
New documents from the lawsuit surrounding Infinity Ward show that the longer this thing is going on, the uglier it's becoming.

Apparently, Activision - Blizzard has become a police state, if we can believe the people from IW who filed a lawsuit against the publisher:
Activision created a "police state," conducted secret "interrogations" of employees and held $54 million dollars hostage as they tried to threaten and cajole the team behind Modern Warfare 2 into making the next Modern Warfare game, according to an amended lawsuit filed in California today and obtained by Kotaku.

The suit alleges that during the build up that led to the firing of West and Zampella, Activision forced Infinity Ward employees to submit to secret interrogations and told the employees not to tell anyone about them. The publisher also brought in security personnel to man the office exits, according to the suit.

Later that month, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick attending a meeting with Infinity Ward, promising them that they would receive their full bonus at the end of the month, but that never happened, according to the suit.

When a group of employees met with CFO Thomas Tippl in April to demand the bonus, according to the suit, Tippl responded "Get over it."
The good news from Activision is that the suitors have lowered their demand from half a billion to $216 million in punitive damages and unpaid bonuses.

Still, if there's any truth in the document (we all know how US court documents can exaggerate things) Activision doesn't seem to be a fun place to work...
