Spark Unlimited, som er ansvarlige for Call of Duty: Finest Hour, har nu sagsøgt Activision for kontraktbrud og “uetisk optræden”. Spark Unlimited kræver ydermere $10 mio. i kompensation for tabt fortjeneste. Spark Unlimited var oprindeligt blevet bedt om at udvikle tre Call of Duty-tiler, men Activision besluttede sig for at hyre Grey Matter Software og Treyarch til udviklingen af de sidste to titler, hvor Call of Duty: Big Red One er det næste udspil vi får at se. Spark Unlimited hævder, at Activision ikke bare har taget opgaven fra dem, men ligefrem forsøgt at “afvikle” dem helt.

“Activision refused to pay Spark the royalties owed on Finest Hour or the bridge financing due under the contract, stole Spark’s idea, and then hired away Spark’s own employees to develop that sequel, hoping that if Spark was sufficiently crippled, Spark would be unable to protect its rights,” the filing against the publisher”

“Activision then breached the development agreement by failing to negotiate in good faith over a second and third product, and refused to provide any meaningful bridge funding,” the filing accuses. “Indeed, Activision simply waited until Call of Duty: Finest Hour was virtually complete and then abandoned its relationship with Spark.”
