Activision sues EA for 'interfering' with Infinity Ward

Activision has added rival publisher EA to its lawsuit against ex-Infinity Ward heads Jason West and Vince Zampella, and has put a figure on its demands for the first time.
That figure is a whopping $400 million and it marks the latest twist in a legal battle that started back in March when West and Zampella sued the Activision for outing the duo from Infinity Ward.
In case you've forgotten Activision security stormed Infinity Ward's offices, citing "insubordination", before firing studio heads Jason West and Vince Zampella at the beginning of March.
It alleges EA dispatched a private jet to Southern California to shuttle West and Zampella to a secret meeting at the home of EA's chief executive John Riccitiello near San Francisco in August 2009.
Activision claims that EA intentionally interfered with contracts, engaged in unfair competition and "aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary duty by the executives," according AP.
Since the debacle Treyarch has stepped up to take the reins of the Call of Duty franchise and seen success with Black Ops which topped $1 billion in sales yesterday.
