Infinity Ward Has Not Received Royalties for Modern Warfare 2

Activision's sudden dismissal of Infinity Ward co-founders Jason West and Frank Zampella and locking out IW employees from their own offices has raised a lot of questions. As new information becomes clear, some of these questions are being answered.

According to anonymous statements given to Binge Gamer's James Walker, Activision has yet to pay Infinity Ward so much as a dime in royalties for 'Modern Warfare 2', which has earned Activision over one billion dollars in revenue. Additionally, a separate source has suggested that Activision's reasoning for firing West and Zampella for "breaches of contract" may be tied to what Infinity Ward was intending to do after their contract with Activision expires in October, 2010.
