My favorite video game is being discontinued! No more guitar hero....I'm so sad. I just found out today the company that publishes the game is not going to be making them anymore. The company's analysts decided that the games are unprofitable despite the large number of sales the game has made since 2008. Each time a new disc comes out I can't wait to find out what songs will be on it. The last one I bought was the Aerosmith version. I can't believe there won't be any more Guitar Hero or Rock Band.

Activision seems to be following in the footsteps of another company, Viacom, which made a similar decision to discontinue making the "Rock Band" games. The initial investment in the Guitar Hero and Rock Band games musical accessories such as the guitars, drum set and microphones bring some capital but the game discs for the songs are not selling enough to make it profitable to company analysts. Once the set has been purchased, nothing else is required except the songs which sell for less money.
