Activision has issued a response to the lawsuit filed against them by Jason West and Vince Zampella, the fired co-founders of Modern Warfare developer Infinity Ward.

“Activision is disappointed that Mr. Zampella and Mr. West have chosen to file a lawsuit, and believes their claims are meritless,” Activision said in a statement. “Over eight years, Activision shareholders provided these executives with the capital they needed to start Infinity Ward, as well as the financial support, resources and creative independence that helped them flourish and achieve enormous professional success and personal wealth.

“In return, Activision legitimately expected them to honour their obligations to Activision, just like any other executives who hold positions of trust in the company. While the company showed enormous patience, it firmly believes that its decision was justified based on their course of conduct and actions. Activision remains committed to the Call of Duty franchise, which it owns, and will continue to produce exciting and innovative games for its millions of fans.”

According to documents obtained by G4, Activision is also seeking documents regarding West and Zampella’s communications with competitors including publishing rival EA.
