UPDATE: 05-31-12 – 2:27 PM<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Activision has confirmed the settlement, saying that the terms are strictly confidential.<\/p>\n

In a statement sent to the press, Activision dropped a bit of a clue as to the amount of the settlement:<\/p>\n

“The company does not believe that the incremental one-time charges related to the settlement will result in a material impact on its GAAP or non-GAAP earnings per share outlook for the current quarter or the calendar year, due to stronger-than-expected operating performance in the current quarter.<\/p>\n

Original Story: <\/strong>There will be no trial in the Activision Vs. West and Zampella case. According to atweet <\/a>from journalist Mike McWherton, the case has been resolved.<\/a><\/p>\n

“No trial happening in West v. Activision suit. No comment from lawyers yet but case has been resolved,” McWherton tweeted.<\/p>\n

According to West and Zampella’s lawyer, dismissals will be filed soon.<\/p>\n

The settlement brings to an end the legal case that began in March of 2010<\/a>, and revolved around the employment of Call of Duty <\/em>creators Jason West and Vince Zampella. Check out all of our “Fall of Duty”<\/a>coverage for a very in-depth look at the case, and check out the most recent episode of Feedback, where we discuss the matter at length.<\/p>\n
