Today, industry analysts have suggested that as many as 20 more Infinity Ward Employees are projected to no longer be employed by the company in a month's time (source Gamespot). Even though strong sales of the Modern Warfare 2 map pack DLC suggest a short term financial positive for Activision, the stock has continued to go down.

I may not be a business tycoon or an expert economist, but I do know this Activision. If you have a goose that lays golden eggs and has hundred dollar bills for feathers, DO WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE IT HAPPY. A lot of people say that no one is irreplaceable, but come on now! You can't just either fire or force all the talent to quit any company and expect it to continue producing gold. Whatever, there is always selling fake livestock to pay the bills forever.
