Official Guitar Hero: Aerosmith thread

[El Fangel]

I am considering buying this, but only when the price drops a little. Aerosmith is good, but not good enough for me to plop 50-60 down to play thier GH game.

I am awaiting Guitar Hero - Metallica, which is due out in 50 years when Red Octane, and Activision raise the 100 mill they will have to pay in royalties and licensing.

Not that I would care much for a Metallica game, but do you realize Activision owns Blizzard Entertainment? In fact, the company's name is Activison Blizzard now. Blizzard being the company that created World of Warcraft.

They could shit out a hundred mill like it was nothing, considering Blizzard created a multi-billion dollar profit game, not including their previous success with the Diablo, Warcraft, and Starcraft series.

Then add in the fact that Infinity Ward is another of their studio's. The company that made Call of Duty. On top of that, Neversoft - the Tony Hawk series. Bizzare Creations - Project Gotham Racing series

Basically, Activision could do whatever the hell they wanted. If they wanted a game to be created, all they would need to do is snap their fingers. And while not all of those series mentioned are 'huge', they are certainly notable creations from certain companies that are owned by Activision. If they saw potential for making a fortune, it could happen like nothing.

Not to mention Vivendi, who owns Activision, OWNS Universal.

That wouldn't have smashed the point into the ground though. The rest was just for added leverage to make the point that Activision can do whatever the hell they want.

And there's that. Is Activision just a subsidary of Vivendi, or are they simply the same company these days? I knew they merged, but that was supposedly the reason behind them being called Activision Blizzard. Not Activision Vivendi or whatever.
