Activision may have thought they could end their problems with letting go the two heads of Infinity Ward, but Jason West and Vince Zampella released a press statement today stating that they are suing Activision.

West and Zampella served as the president/game director and CEO starting in 2003.

“Activision has refused to honor the terms of its agreements and is intentionally flouting the fundamental public policy of this State (California) that employers must pay their employees what they have rightfully earned,” said their attorney Robert Schwartz. “Instead of thanking, lauding, or just plain paying Jason and Vince for giving Activision the most successful entertainment product ever offered to the public, last month Activision hired lawyers to conduct a pretextual ‘investigation’ into unstated and unsubstantiated charges of ‘insubordination’ and ‘breach of fiduciary duty,’ which then became the grounds for their termination on Monday, March 1st.”

“We were shocked by Activision’s decision to terminate our contract,” said West. “We poured our heart and soul into that company, building not only a world class development studio, but assembling a team we’ve been proud to work with for nearly a decade. We think the work we’ve done speaks for itself.”

But it looks like what Jason and Vince are looking for is very simple…a paycheck.

Zampella added, “After all we have given to Activision, we shouldn’t have to sue to get paid.”
