Just when you thought this sh*t might be dying down Activision steps in and fires back. This firing/lawsuit controversy is like the biggest industry smack talking competition ever. EA is clearly winning at the moment, with Infinity Ward employees in a close second, but Activision is back with its own defense.
Activision COO Thomas Tippl is defending his company’s treatment of game developers. “We treat our developers extremely well,” he said this week. “We have an independent studio model that provides them a lot of creative freedom while we take care of the back office stuff so they can focus on making games.
“If their games are successful, they are compensated better here than anywhere else. We’ve been paying our talent millions of dollars for their work. Our setup provides a win-win opportunity. We ensure your work will reach a wide audience. Therefore, we have attracted, and we will continue to attract, the top talent in this industry.”
Oh, snap!? Still in third I think.
