What do these developers do to get millions of dollars? Hey I'll submit my resume to Activision -- sounds like they have some more openings. I'm fine without that extra few million in bonuses. ;-)

Work from 80 to 100 hours weeks up until the project is completed... even more than 100 hours in a week in couple of months before the due date.

Yeah - and perhaps some of this:

Again, with all this - is Activision definitely in the wrong (which I am prone to assume), or were the bonuses really at their discretion, with no guarantees? I wish we had more facts. Activision is still on my semi-boycott list though (if I have to buy a game from them I buy it later, and used).
