With all of the fuss going on at Infinity Ward, it leaves you to wonder what kind of stress it’s causing executives of Activision. Well, it’s not officially related but it was just made known that the president and CEO of Activision, Mike Griffith, will no longer be working for Activision.

And when I say he will no longer be working for Activision I mean that he will still be the company’s vice chairman with a reported salary of $250,000 a year.

Honestly though, I wonder if this had anything to do with the whole Infinity Ward mess? Let us know what you think in the comments.

“Looking even further out, we’re exploring new models, like an annual pass subscription where players can subscribe and get a certain number of songs downloadable each month,” Griffith explained.

He wouldn’t offer any further details, such as a price or start date for such a program. It comes as part of the company’s plans to monetize the Guitar Hero franchise, which they hope to push down your throat by 2010.

Detailing just how popular the franchise is, Griffith revealed that Guitar Hero: Aerosmith “deliver 10x the revenue compared to Aerosmith’s most recently released CD in 2004.”
