as some of you will / won't know IW heads last year about at this time got fired by activison this then had them go over to EA partner program under then name Respawn Entertainment (referd to as RE from now on) well RE then filed a lawsuit against activison about not getting fullied payed for COD games, while this was happening about 75% of IW left to join RE and these employes they were "not paid royleties on COD" aswell, but this is not the important part, the important part is that as part of this lawsuit by RE they clam that activison hold the right to Call Of Duty (and all games in that francise) but they do not own the rights to the Modern Warfare francise so this court case will decide who owns the MW francise, what this means is that those dumb people who just buy anything with COD or MW on the box but do not know about this, this would increase the sales of RE's game massively if it was a MW game, this is also the reson why MW3 has not been anounced by activison yet cause they carnt bring out MW3 if they don't own the francise.
what this means is that RE could own MW3 and have EA (dedicated) severs behind them, it could also mean that instead of a rushed every year MW game they take 2-3 years and make the best MW game.
so for you the consumer what does it really matter, well it could possibly make activison go bust, like out of business, if the judge rules that RE is indeed not been fully paid thats about 100 or so people not fully paid and then they will also have to be given extra for not getting paid at the time and activison will also get fined, and for those that dont rember MW2 sold 20,000+ copies and made $1 billion, so thats alot of money that is owed to the people plus extra so activison could go bust from this.
so in MAY RE vs activison, who will win, who will get MW license, will activison go bust, what will happen.
yes this is the reson MW3 has not yet been anounced.
it would be best for all of us if RE win the case.....
now a bit of a down side if activison did go bust and bankrupt that would be the end of all the francises, these are
1) COD
2) Tony Hawk
3) James Bond
4) World Of Warcraft
these are then main well know but many more will go out.....
but this could could also mean that EA or another company can buy them out and then oqn everyhting that they owned.
this is very unlikly but could happen.
fell free to discuss this.....
