The legal drama between Activision and former Infinity Ward heads Jason West and Vince Zampella has come to an end and a settlement has been reached.
An attorney has told Polygon:
“We have reached a settlement in this matter as to all parties and all claims,” said Daniel Petrocelli, one of the attorneys for West and Zampella. “Dismissals will be filed soon.”
While specifics of the settlement have not been released, Activision has released the following statement:
“The company does not believe that the incremental one-time charges related to the settlement will result in a material impact on its GAAP or non-GAAP earnings per share outlook for the current quarter or the calendar year, due to stronger-than-expected operating performance in the current quarter.”
EA also released a statement following the settlement:
“Activision’s refusal to pay their talent and attempt to blame EA were absurd. This settlement is a vindication of Vince and Jason, and the right of creative artists to collect the rewards due for their hard work.”
