MW1 and MW2 are pretty shallow shooters besides a decent story and polished visuals.
Key words, "we wish we could have" - Activision had every chance in the world. It's obvious this if about two things, 1) the withholding of due royalties and 2) beating the cash cow to death. This could have easily been avoided had they listened to their employees and complied within reason. My money goes on the bet that the main two that left felt serious discomfort with what they were being made to do day in and day out, so they began job hunting. This is the same case where a developer/publisher gets too swell-headed, tries to penny pinch and slave-drive, and then experiences a nasty backlash - the end.....lesson learned this time Activision?!?!We are obviously disappointed about this and we wish we could have convinced some of these incredibly talented people to stay.
