It's a little over two years now since I put Activision on probation for potential sleaziness with their employees, and I've been patiently waiting for the truth to come out in court. Looks like I'll never get that opportunity, though... they finally settled. Of course, the terms of the settlement are under wraps, so there's no hard evidence one way or the other as to how that worked out... but news reports have one of the lead developers involved "smiling broadly" on the way out of court, so it's a fair guess as to where the balance of the settlement, and thus the validity of the original lawsuit, lies.
Oh well, since Activision was unwilling to let the details air out in court, I just get to add them to the permanent "do not buy" list. Pity... I might have enjoyed checking out Diablo 3, once their server issues got worked out.
