Adiós Guitar Hero; Activision bids the popular music game farewell

File this one under “Didn’t see that coming.”
Apparently, Activision is done with Guitar Hero. Not temporarily, not resigning to just DLC– literally, they disbanded its business unit and have no games planned this year or into the future.
This comes at a bit of a shock to me, but their explanation is a sound one:
“[Activision will] invest its capital and resources in the significant opportunities afforded by online gaming worldwide and will reduce its exposure to low-margin and low-potential businesses.”
So yea. Guitar Hero stopped being enough of a moneymaker for them. Sorry, fans of the series!
