Judge Finds Facts to Support that Actvision Defrauded Zampella & West

According to L.A. Superior Court judge Elihu Berle, Activision is going to have to defend a case brought against it by former development partners Vince Zampella and Jason West having rules that "there are facts to support allegations that the game publisher defrauded two developers."

According to the Hollywood Reporter, "The multimillion dollar fight over Activision's successful "Call of Duty" video game franchise is on a path towards a trial after a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled Tuesday there are facts to support allegations that the game publisher defrauded two developers, Jason West and Vincent Zampella, by firing them shortly before significant royalty payments were due."

USA Today states that, "West and Zampella's attorneys can question Activision CEO Bobby Kotick", that'll be in open court, which will be an interesting meeting given that Mr Kotick has already questioned the ethics of the developers.
