People complain that companies milk sequels...then the say "guitar hero killed" because its missing a year. Make up your mind people!

Just cause its missing 1 year release doesn't mean its killed.

500 people are losing their jobs.  Sounds dead to me.

I thought this thread would be a lot bigger for some reason.

VV is only losing 50 people of the 500.   I think GH is more likely just taking a year off...

Yes, VV is "only" losing 25% of their people, but they do other things besides Guitar Hero.  Not much, but they have made other games.  Activision is probably putting them on another licensed project.

It would be odd if Activison announced that they are discontinuing the franchise, and disbanding the Guitar Hero business unit just to bring it back a year later.

Looking at their track record, I don't think it'd be that odd.  If GH came back though, it wouldn't simply pick up where they left off, there'd be a major rethink for the franchise.  I wouldn't rule that out...
