Activision Kills Guitar Hero

...So. Anyone know where I can get a GH axe and game for Wii, cheap?

David_Dovey:
Any store anywhere that sells second-hand games, I imagine?

I'm not surprised that no-one is buying new rhythm games, but how are the sales of DLC going?

KvP:
Probably well enough, but you gotta remember that businesses aren't known for being satisfied with a steady customer base - it's all about growth. If the music DLC market is saturated then they'll abandon it.

Anyway, this was bound to happen ever since Activision handed off the series to Neversoft for cash milking. Harmonix only made three Rock Bands but Activision made what, a dozen Guitar Heros in the span of 2 or 3 years? It was their new Tony Hawk series.

Activision really fucking sucks - First they wrest the series away from its creators and then they salt the earth with shovelware. Harmonix just can't catch a break. MTV sold the studio not long ago.

JD:
Kotick is such a douchenozzle

Storm Rider:
Activision milked all the short-term profit out of the trend while they could, prematurely bringing the end of the market, and then scrapped it and laid off a bunch of hardworking people. In other words, exactly what they've been doing since Kotick took over, and are in the process of doing with Call of Duty. Remind me why people still consider EA the 'bad guys' of the industry?
