Infinity Wardgate: Analyst predicts 20 more could leave

The video above is a representation of the departures over at Infinity Ward, and those departures have been steady so far. However, Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter says they’ll continue over the next few months. Pachter says over that time 10 to 20 more employees will leave IW.

His prediction comes as two more employees leave the company, animators Mark Grigsby and Paul Messerly. This brings the total so far up to 12.

“In our view, the company will likely replace the departed employees with skilled developers, and while increased competition may impact sales of future versions of Modern Warfare, we expect the company to put out a competitive product,” Pachter said.
