Via the LA Times Blog comes the story of the day that in addition to the previous lawsuit Activision faces with the former Infinity Ward heads West and Zampella a new lawsuit was filed against the company today by 38 IW employees according to the article.

Of the 38 employees involved in the suit the story says that 21 are former employees of Infinity Ward and that the remaining 17 are current IW employees.

Activision responded to the suit the story updated later in the day with this:

“Activision believes the action is without merit,” a company spokesman said in response to the suit. “Activision retains the discretion to determine the amount and the schedule of bonus payments for [Modern Warfare 2] and has acted consistent with its rights and the law at all times. We look forward to getting judicial confirmation that our position is right.”

What a bizarre saga this is becoming. The turmoil has gotten to the point where nobody knows at this point exactly what’s going to remain of Infinity Ward as a brand after all this settles. – The Ben
