[citation][nom]timbo[/nom]Once again, this won't be a blow to Activision's MW3, because Activison doesn't own MW3. The founders of Respawn own the rights to MW3 and any subsequent MW title. Activision owns the rights to the COD series.[/citation]
Can I get a link on this? This is the first I've heard that.
As for all of them leaving like this, I can't believe they don't have SOME form of non-compete clause. I work in the software industry (though not gaming) and every company I've worked for has had one. They're not usually strictly enforced (or even easily enforcable), but with this many people leaving and starting what is likely to be a competing company, I can't see Activision just sitting back.
