Well, this story just gets more and more awesomely weird. While more employees flee the sinking ship that appears to be Infinity Ward, a group of 38 IW employees have decided to sue Activision, according to a
story on g4tv.
Apparently they are chasing up to US$54 million in unpaid royalties, and then a further wad of cash for interest and punitive damages. Activision have since replied and stated that they (of course) think the lawsuit is without merit. Interesting times.

When you talk about vanilla WoW. Are you talking laggy servers, boring grindfests, only getting decked out if you run MC for months on end, etc?
Because if you are I prefer the Blizzard of today. I think it's fairly balanced. If you want some easy epics, well you can run the heroics. If you want to progress further for the best gear then you can raid. Keeps everyone happy.

On the other side look at what Activision does... IWnet shows their total disregard for the consumer, seemingly f*** over their own people and have sold their franchises out to console s***. As for Starcraft being separated into parts, don't judge it until you see the full release content for each part, it may be worth it (f*** if I know I'm not an RTS fan). As for your digs at their MMO, that's nothing but hating on the king. They are the best at it by a country mile, no one can take them down so they are filling the gap themselves. F*****g thumbs up from me on that one.
Bottom line is Blizzard make the best, deepest most polished games out there while not selling out, and you hate on them for making money off it.
Yea I remember one of the Blizz guys talking about this at Blizcon, they said they have just as many misses as any other developer, it's just that they can theirs rather than releasing a buggy POS as a cash grab.

It'll be interesting to see what they make from the new rocket mount with that RAF system. I'm sure there's plenty of tears flowing over at the WoW forums about it.
