The company was founded a month after West and Zampella's [[Infinity Ward#Dismissal of senior employees|dismissal from Infinity Ward]] in March 2010 by [[Activision]]. [[Electronic Arts]] provided the seed capital who started the company. Zampella is the General Manager and West is the current President. The company has an exclusive publishing deal with Electronic Arts within the framework of the [[Electronic Arts#EA_Partners_Programme|EA Partners]] program. However, Respawn Entertainment will still own and maintain control of their intellectual property as an independent studio.<ref name="LATimes">{{cite web|url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-ct-callofduty12-2010apr12,0,6466384.story|title=Jason West and Vince Zampella's new call of duty|author=LA Times}}</ref> Reciprocally, Respawn will not influence other developers of EA such as [[EA Digital Illusions CE|DICE]], the creator of the ''[[Battlefield (series)|Battlefield]]'' series, as it is "not part of the program that all of a sudden outside independents are advising internal teams", according to EA Partner's Senior Vice President and General Manager, David DeMartini.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/108/1083156p1.html|title=Infinity Ward Founders Developing A 'Big Blockbuster'|author=IGN}}</ref> They are currently in the process of hiring a team to work on an, as of yet unannounced project.<ref name="LATimes"/> The studio already recruited eight of the ex-Infinity Ward employees who left after West and Zampella did: Todd Alderman, Mackey McCandlish, Mark Grisby, John Paul Messerly, Chris Cherubini, Rayme C.
