[Update, 11:57 a.m. Activision has issued the following statement in response to the lawsuit:

Activision is disappointed that Mr. Zampella and Mr. West have chosen to file a lawsuit, and believes their claims are meritless. Over eight years, Activision shareholders provided these executives with the capital they needed to start Infinity Ward, as well as the financial support, resources and creative independence that helped them flourish and achieve enormous professional success and personal wealth.

In return, Activision legitimately expected them to honor their obligations to Activision, just like any other executives who hold  positions of trust in the company.  While the company showed enormous patience, it firmly believes that its decision was justified based on their course of conduct and actions.  Activision remains committed to the Call of Duty franchise, which it owns, and will continue to produce exciting and innovative games for its millions of fans.]

Infinity Ward创始人及前任高管Jason West及Vince Zampella今日向洛杉矶地方法院递交诉状，称自己任职Infinity Ward总裁兼游戏督导及首席执行官期间，为Activision缔造了两个极为成功的作品群，即“使命的召唤”和“现代战争”系列，但Activision距履约支付巨额提成只有数星期之时便终止了他们与公司的雇佣关系。

Jason West和Vince Zampella控告Activision拒不履行双方约定，蓄意践踏加州最基本的雇佣条款，即雇主必须向雇员支付应得的报酬。

“非但没有谢意，褒奖，连最起码的支付酬劳都没做到，这可是Activision史上最成功的娱乐作品。公司上个月还雇佣律师进行所谓的内部调查，然后以含糊不清的‘犯上’及‘不守信’等罪名将他俩扫地出门，这事就发生在3月1号星期一”，West及Zampella的律师Robert Schwartz称。

“Activision毁约时我们都惊呆了”，West称，“我们为这家公司倾注了全部心血，不仅一手打造出一流的游戏工作室，还组建了一支共事近十载，引以为傲的开发团队，我们的贡献有目共睹。”

“在为Activision奉献良多之后，却要靠诉讼来讨薪，这实在不应该”，Zampella补充道。

IW出品的《现代战争2》为Activision带来三十多亿美元的销售收入，现在Jason West和Vince Zampella不仅要求对方支付应得的那部分收入，还要求得到Activision事先许诺的——这下精彩了——“现代战争”的品牌权益。

还记得《现代战争2》曾多次在“使命的召唤”系列里进进出出的情景吗？

也许这两人一开始就打定主意要把现代战争从使命的召唤系列中剥离出来成为IW自行掌控的品牌，Activision意识到了这个问题，在看出苗头后抢先把这两人搞掉，再空降领导人试图让IW重回到自己帐下，免得现代战争品牌落入他人之手。
