'Infinity Ward as we know it is dead' Claims Braben

David Braben the creator behind LostWinds and Elite has claimed that Call of Duty developer Infinity Ward is "dead". Talking about the events that took place in March, Braben said that what is left of Infinity Ward is a "different company". Braben has slammed the developer's publisher, Activision over its part in the affair. Saying that the whole debacle, "highlights is the way the board level management appear not to value their own teams, or even understand what it is they care about". He continued "Whatever happens now, Infinity Ward as it was, is dead." Braben continued talking about the "brand" of Infinity Ward stating that while it may still live on, the company is completely different with its current staff. Also making it clear that he believes the whole senior management needs to be replaced. But Braben did cover himself by saying "That is not to say that those others might not do a really good job of making it work, but it will have a different mindset, a different approach, a different balance of experience. Tools and tech will carry over, but a company is a lot more than that. Give me Respawn, any day." Source: CVG
