The war of words between Activision-Blizzard and Electronic Arts has moved to a new plateau. Activision has added the rival publisher to its $400 countersuit against the creators of the “Call of Duty” franchise.

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge approved the amendment to the suit Thursday, acknowledging Activision’s allegations that EA wooed Jason West and Vince Zampella, the heads of the wholly-owned Infinity Ward subsidiary, while they were still under contract with Activision.

Not shocked at all. To be honest, Activision always sues EA when they have a temper tantrum. Look at what happened with Brutal Legend...Activision didn't want it. EA saw potential in it. Activision wanted it again. It's very much like when a 5 year old doesn't want a toy until they see another person playing with it.

Hmmmm, true.

I totally forgot about the Brutal Legend fiasco
