Neversoft Absorbed By Infinity Ward

Some of you may remember the iconic eyeball being stabbed by a spear and watching you through your TV screen before your game starts. If you do, then you're probably familiar with the Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero game developer Neversoft.

Unfortunately, this studio has now been absorbed into the corporate clutches of Call of Duty developer Infinity Ward. Now, instead of making quality games, they're going to be helping produce the recycled trash that we have come to call Call of Duty. The newest announced installment in this recycled mess is to be called Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

Some employees from Neversoft are excited to be absorbed into Infinity Ward, but some are entirely against the decision. This includes the Neversoft studio head Joel Jewett and studio director Scott Pease. Unfortunately, these two will retire form the gaming industry next year as a result of this corporate deal.
