Have you all been keeping up with the recent reports regarding Activision?

First they get their head of IT to dig up dirt in order to fire West and Zampella: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2012-05-17-ex-activision-it-head-was-asked-to-dig-dirt-on-west-zampella

 

Then the higher ups swing around a nasty email chain about firing the two aforementioned people over an E3 issue: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/117378-Activision-and-Infinity-Ward-Feud-Had-History

 

And now MORE news comes out about Activision purposely holding back and not giving out bonuses that were PROPERLY EARNED by their employees. http://gamasutra.com/view/news/170802/Most_of_Infinity_Wards_toppaid_staff_jumped_ship_to_Respawn_Entertainment.php

 

Seriously, what the ****? 

 

"In the published email chain, Griffith notes, "we are paying way too many people way too much -- we need to find a way to put caps on our bonus payouts." "

I cannot understand the greed and idiocy that runs that company. I feel like this news has been completely unnoticed among VGC, and these things need to be shown more light.
