CNN is reporting that Guitar Hero is no more. Activision Blizzard announced that they will cease publishing the game this year.
Does anyone care? I was surprised to see this on CNN, but I guess its important...to some.
Uhh, no.
I honestly don't care. I never really played the game, and therefore, never got into it. I know a few of my friends are bummed.
Ya, I never got into it either. I think it had its time and this is a good move. There are only so many things you can do with a game like this, and it seems like they did them.
I'm sure something else will come out that will be extremely popular. I'm surprised it took as long as it did to come to the end of its cycle.

It did have a really good run.

It definitely had a good run, and it also gave us RockBand. I'm glad they made this game, cuz it got people interested in instrument playing.

Great party game, but not the best otherwise.

Very true. It was a great way to bring a bunch of people together.
why is this even in the news? if call of duty were to be cancelled....would it make the news?

Good question. I was very surprised to see it. I'm pretty sure if COD were cancelled that would cause quite an uproar. There might be a CNN exclusive special complete with fancy graphics and buzzwords like, "The War is Over! and Called OFF Duty."

Its in the news because it was a hugely popular game, with a huge fan base. I'm aure there are alot of people that are very upset about its cancellation.

I'm not so sure about that. The key word here is that it was a hugely popular game. There might be a few hardcore GH fans still hanging around, but I'm betting pretty much everyone else doesn't care that its gone for good.
My brother is a big video gamer and he said the bigger problem is the parent company (Activision maybe?), basically, they don't promote their products but then they'll cut a game as soon as it isn't making money. If you never gave it a chance in the first place, it was bound to fail...

Yup, its Activision. One of their main reasons for discontinuing GH was to they could focus more on their COD franchise. Probably a smart move considering how popular those games are.
