Ok, so it's no secret now that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 made Activision a ton of cash. Like, over a billion dollars.
In typical bosslike fashion, very little of that money made its way back to those that actually did the work. In this case, the developer, Infinity Ward. So little, infact, that the two co-founders of Infinity Ward left to form another company, Respawn Entertainment. As it happens, these guys must be quite good to work for, because about a quarter of the rest of the company have also apparently jumped ship.
This bit, I can totally understand. I know as well as anyone how good bosses are like, a needle in a haystack. If I actually found one, and were in much the same situation, shit, I'd follow that son of a bitch to hell and back.
Exploitation is the name of the game these days, and in my experience, if the average boss doesn't have to pay you more money, he won't. That said, I really hope these guys had a contract all written up, because if they did, now Activision's going to fucking pay.
Go get em, fellas!
