Guitar Hero May Be Dead, But Its DLC Isn't
Activision made the announcement a couple of weeks ago that their formerly massive franchise Guitar Hero has met its end. However, fans of their plastic instruments will be able to get some more life out of them thanks to a recent announcement. Because of "continued support" from the series' fans, DLC will continue to be made available for both Guitar Hero and DJ Hero.
This is good news for the short term, but we have to wonder how long new DLC will be produced until Activision pulls the plug. With no new games coming out in the series, there's almost certainly going to be a point where it just isn't profitable anymore.
