Overall, Spark's complaint contends that "Activision then breached the development agreement by failing to negotiate in good faith over a second and third product, and refused to provide any meaningful bridge funding." "Indeed, Activision simply waited until Call of Duty: Finest Hour was virtually complete and then abandoned its relationship with Spark," reads the complaint.

Strikingly, the complaint also reads, "Activision repaid Spark by usurping Spark's rights and taking for itself only all benefits of the contract...then followed up this usurpation by seeking to kill off Spark altogether." It'll be interesting to see how this pans out. As most are probably aware, developer vs. publisher conflicts are not new, with such high profile cases as Valve vs. Vivendi in recent years.
