As was expected to happen, the staff of Infinity Ward have begun to leave the troubled developer, following co-founders Vince Zampella and Jason West out the door.

The LinkedIn profiles of lead designer Todd Alderman and lead software engineer Francesco Gigliotti have been updated to show that they are no longer working at the Modern Warfare developer (via Kotaku). They were employed at the Activision-owned studio for over eight years and seven years respectively.

This stems from the nasty lawsuit and accusations leveled by Zampella and West on Activision regarding the ownership of the Modern Warfare and Call of Duty IPs; readers can listen to the special Videogame Roundtable podcast laying out all the entire history of the controversy.

Whatever the case, Infinity Ward will most likely be an empty shell by year’s end, if not by July. Let us know what you think.
