Activision vs. Infinity Ward: Modern Warfare

Ja da, så er den her igen! Den tilbagevendende sag mellem Activision og Infinity Ward er ikke nem at undgå. Især ikke når Activision nu har betalt tidligere ansatte af studiet $42 millioner i erstatning. Du læste rigtigt: $42 millioner. Det er 242 millioner danske kr., hvis du skulle være i tvivl. Det er rigtig mange penge, som bliver fordelt mellem 40 individer for deres arbejde på Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 men tro endelig ikke, at sagen nu omsider er forbi.

"Although it is a meaningful payment it is only a small portion of what we are seeking in litigation.", sagde advokaten Bruce Isaac, der repræsenterer Infinity Wards tidligere ansatte, og han fortsætter: "It is outrageous that they made us wait, they obviously knew they owed the money and this just shows that they breached the contract." Samlet set håber de på at kunne få en udbetaling på et sted imellem $75 millioner og $125 millioner, så sagen kører altså endnu.


English version:

Yup, it's this one again. The trial involving Activision and Infinity Ward is definitely not easy to avoid, and especially not when Activision just payed the former staff of Infinity Ward $42 million. That's right: $42 million. That's a lot of money and it will be distributed among 40 individuals for their work on Modern Warfare 2 but do not make the mistake and think this is over.

"Although it is a meaningful payment it is only a small portion of what we are seeking in litigation.", said Bruce Isaac, the attorney representing the former staff, and he continues: "It is outrageous that they made us wait, they obviously knew they owed the money and this just shows that they breached the contract." They hope to get a payment between $75 million and $125 million at the end of the trial. So once again: do not think this is over.
