"It's only natural to immediately jump on the side of talent and waggle the "Evil Empire" finger in Activision's direction. It became even easier after learning of Activision's plans to give the Call of Duty series the Guitar Hero treatment. That is exactly what I did; But after last weeks release of Activision's counter-suit against West and Zampella, as well as the announcement of Respawn Studios and their partnership with Electronic Arts, I have to admit I actually started to think that Activision might be in the right..."
Get the scoop on Comedy Central's exciting new cartoon show inspired by the iconic Golden Axe video game
Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.

Toyohashi, Japan is set to host a large-scale Monster Hunter event to celebrate the franchise's 20th anniversary, complete with themed hotel accommodations.
If they wanted to move to EA that is their business and no grounds to sue them. And I wouldn't sign sh*t that the company that just fired me wanted me to sign either. They are basically suing West and Zampella for not being their little b*tches.
EDIT: Komega: I agree, but since I have no clue what they signed I have to just hate Activition for being such douches. They think that everyone should just bow down to them. F*ck them.
No, they aren't, Contracts are just pieces of paper, you can sign a contract to kill a innocent person and then decide not to do it, but was that right?
activision is weak, their time for honoring themselves will soon be at an end, END of story
"Activision in the right" really?
So it's 'right' to hire a dev team to make a game for you that has netted your company millions and not pay them?
their contract with acti. was about to be up and they made up their minds that they didnt want to be with them anymore, so when are they supposed to start planning for their future? when is the right time to start your own studio? after the couple of years that acti is going to drag this out? and its not like EA bought the studio for them or work for ea like they did for acti. if im not mistaken they are publishing the next game. if i didnt get paid within the second i was supposed to after the crazy success of my game i would look to do things to piss them off too so i would came knocking on EA's door. you dont want to recognize my talent fine! ill find someone that will.
how fvcked up was it that acti. said if it wasnt for us their would be no iw.. and not recognize that if it wasnt for iw cod wouldnt be as big as it is. i remember reading how kotic regreted buying the guitar hero ip over the ppl that made it. kotic is an idiot that never recognizes talent just lawyers and how soon till the next sequel..
