Reached for comment, West & Zampella's lawyer Bobby Schwartz has told Kotaku "We are delighted. This makes our case against Activision even clearer. Activision dragged EA into the case hoping to distract from Activision's wretched conduct towards West and Zampella. In dismissing EA today, Activision admits that it was never going to convince anyone that EA conspired with West and Zampella to breach their contracts or did anything else improper. And now Activision will have to answer for its misconduct towards West and Zampella."
