Nobody knows exactly why West was fired.
If I have to guess I would say it was probably because he was trying to take Infinity Ward in a new direction. Maybe he wanted to become independent again? After the success of Modern Warfare, he was probably thinking about moving away from Activision.
Well, it doesn't matter. Mr. West has a solid resume and I'll bet there are a lot of companies which would be willing to hire him, and his team if they decide to follow him out of Infinity Ward.
As for Bobby Kotick - the man's a business man. I strongly doubt he even plays games at all, or care about the fans or care about anything else except money, more money and even more money. Which is why he's a CEO and a very wealthy man. I can't say he's evil (because he hasn't killed anyone or burned down any orphanages), but I can say he is the very essence of the stereotypical 80's Corporate Boss. Successful, but has no passion or zeal for anything except money. That's actually very sad when you think about it.
