Activision pays former Infinity Ward devs USD $42m

Activision has taken the unusual step of paying the Infinity Ward Employee Group USD $42 million (NZD $54.6 million) before their case has even gone to trial.

However, former Infinity Ward co-heads Jason West and Vince Zampella were still pursuing what they claim were unpaid bonuses and royalties from their work on the mega-selling Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Infinity Ward Employee Group attorney Bruce Isaacs called the payment a "cynical attempt to look good before the jury trial."
