Not content to let the EEOC's claim of ethics violations in the Activision lawsuit go without response, the State of California's Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) has accused the federal agency of misrepresenting key facts and even breaching its "duty of candor" to the Court.

Things are about to get (even more) wild...in Virtual Legality.
