“More People Will Probably Go” From Infinity Ward

An Activision employee has stated he expects more staff to leave troubled developer Infinity Ward.

In a series of posts defending the company in an anti-Activision Facebook group (thanks CVG), Activision community man Dan Amrich revealed his confusion over why so many staff have left the company.

“Yep, and that's not over yet,” said Amrich referring to the recent departures.

“More people will probably go too, looking for new situations. Maybe they will join Respawn, maybe not. I'm confused, because by leaving, they are giving up their bonus -- and the more people that leave, the bigger the bonus gets for the people who stay.”

Amrich goes on to describe Infinity Ward as a “really good place to be right now” for young, hungry game developers. 

Since Infinity Ward heads Jason West and Vince Zampella were fired from the company, a number of staff members have followed suit. For a rundown on what's happened so far, check out our column here.
