Looking Grim: A Diagnosis of Infinity Ward

Friday, April 16, 2010

Considering the weekly staff-departure announcements at Infinity Ward, it's tough to get a sense of the studio's condition. We all know that former president Jason West and former CEO Vince Zampella have flown the coup, but who else has joined them?

The staff at PC Gamer UK has updated Modern Warfare 2's credits to exclude the AWOL developers in order to make it easier to forecast the future of Infinity Ward and its prize franchise. Personally, I believe this footage displays the concrete effect of mismanagement and questionable business ethics above all else. Check it out:

By all accounts, Activision has thoroughly gutted the design, story, and animation teams, leaving a gaping hole in their wake. But hey, at least they didn't fire the receptionist [PC Gamer]!

I don't think people are done leaving yet, either. I won't cry for Activision though - Mr. Kotick's brand of management has caused this, and as long as they leave him with the reins things of this nature will likely continue to occur with regularity.

7 people I know have already traded theirs in. 4 of them bought Bad Company 2 and loving it. They began to loose their patience after all the glitches started popping up in MW2. They started to get really angry when West and Zampella got fired, and they lost it when they saw the $15 price tag for the map pack. My entire friends list used to show nearly everyone playing MW2, now it shows everyone playing Bad Company 2 lol.
