Activision is most likely not very happy right now. Why? 38, yes 38, employees of their all-star developer Infinity Ward are now filing a lawsuit the company.

Activision has been holding back about 75 million to 125 million dollars back from the developers. Activision, using this unpaid money, was trying to “keep the employees hostage,” according to the lawsuit.

Activision, when questioned about the lawsuit by G4TV, replied “Activision believes the action is without merit. Activision retains the discretion to determine the amount and the schedule of bonus payments for MW2 and has acted consistent with its rights and the law at all times. We look forward to getting judicial confirmation that our position is right.”

After the jump, you can find the full list of employees involved. Some of the employees have already left Infinity Ward, but a large chunk are still at the studio. Who knows for how long though.
