You got to get that shit down on paper.
These guys at Infinity Ward did the hard work and deserve to be compensated for it, for that I have no doubt. But unless it was written in their contract that they're due extras if the game does well, I doubt they'll get much... unfortunately.
I'm fairly sure it was, otherwise why would activision say something about how they can change the bonuses anytime they want? If there was no written evidence, why wouldn't they instead say something like thats all nonsense and theres no contractual bonuses?
In other words, the wording of thier response indicates to me personally there's probably written evidence of the whole bonus thing.
Also, its not JUST bonuses according to the employees, what about the royalties withheld?
