Infinity Ward Lead Developers Axed Unexpectedly

Posted by Soulskill on from the let's-blame-the-dedicated-server-fiasco dept.

RogueyWon writes "Kotaku is reporting that Infinity Ward, the development studio behind Modern Warfare 2, has been at the center of strange events recently. Jason West and Vince Zampella, two lead developers, have been fired by parent company Activision for 'breaches of contract and insubordination.' Speculation is rife as to the reasons behind this; following Modern Warfare 2's spectacular sales figures, it seems unlikely that the studio's performance could be to blame."

    And if people don't produce enough, well they can just be denied food. Especially the people in rural areas, how dare they keep food from the working masses in the Blue States. We will send folks that are anti-socialist to Montana or Alaska.

    Look how well socialist progress worked for Northern Ireland with the brilliant DeLorean Motors project, or how the kibbutz and moshav systems are spreading like wildfire in Israel. Look at how changing gears has bridged the divide between the rural and urban classes in China.
