Head Infinity Ward Devs Fired For “Insubordination”
Though the developer recently released the industry fastest grossing title, Infinity Ward still lost two company heads; even though the company was considered as “intangible”. However, these loses aren’t economically related. According to big brother company Activision, Infinity Ward’s Jason West and Vince Zampella were simultaneously left go due to “breaches of contract”.
However, Activision doesn’t believe that these loses will “have a material impact on the company.” But, on the contrary, industry analyst Ben Schachter believes that their dismissing could have a dramatic affect Activision’s stock prices and the upcoming downloadable content for Modern Warfare 2.
“We expect the very vocal gaming press to put the story front and center,” Schachter said in a note this morning, reports GameSpot.
He then went on to point out that “disruptions at Infinity Ward could, however, affect quality/timing of the downloadable content (DLC) for Modern Warfare 2 (which we estimate could contribute $0.03 -$0.04 in 2010 earnings per share). However, it is unclear at this point what the extent of the impact, if any, on the DLC will be.”
