Activision fired, is being sued by, and is suing the two former heads of Infinity Ward, the folks who made Modern Warfare 2. If you care about the story, click the link below.

What stood out to me and why I'm posting it is the fucking hilarious comment from EA on the situation. EA is Activision's biggest competitor, and they didn't take the normal "no comment" stance. Instead they took a free shot at them...

Perhaps the only thing in a while that EA's done which hasn't pissed me off.

The total so far is 7 or 8 in total I believe.

It won't affect sales but the nest game might be a bit different.

Wow.  The swath of destruction is reaching Dave Grenewetzki proportions.
