Front Office Football Central - View Single Post - Activision fire people who made them $1 Billion...

Since IW and another company Treyarch alternate development of titles in the series, speculation on various message boards is that IW was essentially not playing nice with franchise assets when directed to share them with Treyarch.

EDIT: Qt3 forums are wondering if this is just a play from Activision to flex power over IW - fire upper management and make the team so scared that the studio is going to be closed that they work their asses off rather than thinking of themselves as valued assets. This apparently dovetails nicely with Activision head Bobby Kotick's stated goal of creating a corporate culture of "skepticism, pessimism, and fear". (That sounded like a joke when it was reported. Then you look at the rest of the shit this guy spews.)
