It's irrelevent why they were disastisfied.. They broke the terms of their contract and therefore... deserve pretty much anything bad that happens to them. If any NFL player hates his current team, and starts negotitations with another... it doesn't matter WHY he's going to get punished and rightfully so. Who hasn't had a job they hated? If you do, all you can do is sit it out until your contract is up.

Fair enough. This does however enable a lot of sympathy vote from the little people. And yes, the law is not always right or fair.

The law isn't... but contract law is. I actually tend to side with NFL players because the NFL forces them to sign such things if they want to play pro football. These two though... they didn't have to sign.
They weren't under duress or threatened. Nor were there no other videogame companies. They signed on the bottom line because they wanted to, and then wanted out as soon as they were unhappy. That's ridiculious.
You sign a contract, you live by it. I have no sympathy for people who break the terms of a contract they willingly and knowingly signed.

I'm no lawyer, but we still don't know if they breached their contract. They may well have been in communication with EA but that doesn't mean they were going jump ship and steal work whilst under contract with Activision. There contracts were going to run out. Is it against the law to prepare for the future?

Yes, in fact it is. If you sign a contract not to. Which they did and was part of their contract and why they are getting countersued. Just how it's illegal for Lebron James to talk to any NBA teams other then the cavs while under contract in cleveland.
