Bold allegations brought forth by dozens of Infinity Ward employees and ex-employees in a class-action suit paint Modern Warfare publisher Activision as a greedy tyrant, one that purposefully delayed the return of bonuses to prevent employees from quitting.  However, the claims have done little to phase the company.

In a publicly-issued statement, Activision called the suit meritless, further noting that it does not foresee any complications and expects the court to side with their position. The full statement, courtesy of G4TV, can be found below. Make of it what you will.

Activision believes the action is without merit. Activision retains the discretion to determine the amount and the schedule of bonus payments for MW2 and has acted consistent with its rights and the law at all times. We look forward to getting judicial confirmation that our position is right.
