| KungKras said: I once saw my cousin, who never plays video games play Guitar Hero. There were demoes at stores that was always full of people playing GH, even people not really into gaming were interrested in it. Now, at my local gamestop there is a bargain bin full of cheaply priced plastic guitars, and noone talks about GH anymore. Activision really outdid themselves in killing off an interresting social phenomenon. Now I have an idea of how things were during the 1983 video game crash. |
Ironically, Activision founders were Atari devs (and some investors) who got sick of Atari, mainly because all those corporate decisions that killed them in the process, like not paying the devs what they deserved (neither giving them recognition), doing cheap-fast games to seize the holiday season, milking everything they thought of... Now they are basically doing the same thing...
