In the past few weeks, thirteen people have left Modern Warfare 2 developer Infinity Ward, and according to Actvision community rep Dan Amrich, we may not have seen the last of it.
Posting on the message board of the Facebook group "Gamers against Bobby Kotick & Activision", Amrich conceded that th wave of departures is probably not over yet.
"More people will probably go too, looking for new situations," he posted. "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 also explained that the bonuses of those who left will be "redistibuted" to the people who stay. Apparently the bonuses meant for IW heads Jason West and Vince Zampella have already been spread around this way.
"Vince and Jason had very large bonuses; those bonuses are being redistributed to everybody else, to the people who did not allegedly attempt to steal company secrets," writes Amrich, advising members of the group to look at Activision's counter-suit "for details about Vince and Jason's surreptitious attempts to photocopy and scan sensitive documents.""Activision is not pocketing that bonus money; it's still going to the people who work at IW," Amrich continues. "But you have to work at IW to get it, see?""Vince and Jason had very large bonuses; those bonuses are being redistributed to everybody else, to the people who did not allegedly attempt to steal company secrets," posted Amrich.
"Activision is not pocketing that bonus money; it's still going to the people who work at IW," he continued. "But you have to work at IW to get it, see?"
