I'd be very interested in signing any petition against Activision to pay their developers the royalties they should be paid.
Legally rights or not, there's ethically right and wrong. When you've got people who are literally giving you years of their only life in order to produce the best selling piece of entertainment across all forms of media...pay them fucking royalties. I don't care if they have huge egos, are giant assholes, no longer work at the company, called your mother a whore, planned to jump ship and form their own studio with a competing publisher...it doesn't matter. You made a metric fuckton of cash off of their hard work, ideas, and creative vision and any human being with a soul would know that they deserve a fair percentage of that money.
Until Activision convinces me that they're more interested in making games than money, they're no longer getting any of mine.
