Guitar Hero Didn’t Die A Natural Death, But Was Killed By Myopic Greed
- winestock 16y agoSo Activision rushed several releases over the course of months at the expense of quality. This brought the loss of critical acclaim and -- worse -- the loss of customer support. The author of the article noted: And what could possibly be the reason for [the decline in interest in Guitar Hero], hmm? Maybe releasing sequel after sequels after sequel in such a quick succession that you don’t give gamers any room to breathe? Gotta maximize short-term profits! The future? That’s someone else’s problem. As one commenter on the site put it: This is the nature of the stock market/share holder driven economy. More money, more growth, more stuff. Stock values must go up, never stay flat, and never go down. The sad thing is that flat is the definition of sustainable, yet that is not acceptable by the definition of our worlds economy.
