Video game publisher Activision has announced that they are terminating the Guitar Hero series. The series had been receiving constant updates, and there was a new version in development for 2011. That title is now scrapped.
But not only that, Activision seems to be pulling the plug on the series entirely. One could argue that with downloadable content, there's no reason to have to keep making new versions - just have a steady stream of new songs available to download for the current games. But it doesn't seem like we'll even get that. The Guitar Hero series is simply dead. Activision blames "continued declines in the music genre".
This strikes me as kind of silly. I can't help but think that Activision overextended themselves with the Guitar Hero franchise.
