The Infinity Ward and Activision battle rages on following this week’s departures and, according to an inside source, the studio will continue to ‘crumble’.Speaking anonymously to Kotaku, an Infinity Ward insider has stated that staff have been “scared shitless” of the Activision management and, according to the source, Activision is unsure how to fix the current situation which has seen key players leave in numbers over the past few weeks.”They never saw this coming. They can’t believe what’s going on. At first they gave us some bullshit about moving up payments of all the money they owe us to sooner increments. That was when [designer] Todd [Alderman] and [engineer] Frank [Gigliotti] left. But with the announcement of Respawn and all the people leaving, they just got there heads in their hands.”
The source added, “IW as you know it is dead…and it will continue to crumble. There are a lot more veterans who are definitely going to leave.”If you have not been following the latest developments this week then read today’s What We Know About The Infinity Ward Debacle, Part Two
