Four More Infinity Ward Staff Leave
Total is nearly 50 per cent of entire workforce, apparently.
Infinity Ward's woes continue today, as it was revealed that four more employees have left the studio. This comes a week before publisher Activision is due to publish its earnings report, and after it was revealed that no less than 25 staff have walked out already.
The information comes from 3D Realms developer George Broussard, who appears to now be moonlighting as an industry tipster on Twitter. After following the fallout of the Modern Warfare 2 studio, Broussard writes that nearly 50 per cent of the studio's original workforce have now left the building.
Names weren't disclosed, but no doubt we'll find out soon enough on various LinkedIn profiles or Facebook pages. The continuing Infinity Ward exodus provides added headache for Activision, which has now been hit by a lawsuit from current and former employees over royalty pay.
The publisher is also dealing with a legal battle with former Infinity Ward heads Jason West and Vince Zampella on grounds of unfair dismissal. The two recently established a new studio called Respawn Entertainment, and has been recruiting plenty of fellow Infinity Ward staff.
As for the Call of Duty brand, it's a case of 'Keep Calm And Carry On' - fellow series developer Treyarch is due to unveil a trailer for the next title in the franchise on GameTrailers TV tomorrow.

Imagine if you still worked at Infinity Ward bet the office has loads of space for Office Chair Hockey! Cincinnati Rules of course.
