The company that started music based video games is shutting down the Guitar Hero game.  Activision made the announcement yesterday during their quarterly earnings hearing.

“Due to continued declines in the music genre, the company will disband Activision Publishing’s Guitar Hero business unit and discontinue development on its Guitar Hero game for 2011. The company also will stop development on True Crime: Hong Kong. These decisions are based on the desire to focus on the greatest opportunities that the company currently has to create the world’s best interactive entertainment experiences.”

The company even went as far as scrapping a new version already in development.  Read the entire story here. Don't feel too bad for the company, they also make the Call of Duty franchise which is the best selling video game and the best selling franchise.  Do feel bad for Polly Wogg, she spent endless hours pulling that whammy bar.
