Analysts, lawyers discuss the EA/Activision lawsuit, and the possible impact on Respawn's work

“Activision is seeking very substantial amounts of damages from EA. They’re also talking about clawing back all of the money they’ve paid to West and Zampella. They’re looking for a whole range of different other remedies as well. Some of them could quite easily turn into an injunction against Respawn from developing further games on the basis that what West and Zampella have been doing is based on the confidential Activision information. Activision says West and Zampella just walked off with a whole bunch of their stuff. That would be an extremely ambitious step to try, and I’m sure it would be hotly contested by Respawn Entertainment. It would come down to a judge to decide whether or not that had merits.” - Jas Purewal, a games lawyer at Olswang
