The bad news didn’t stop there though, Activision announced that they’ve stopped all development for the Guitar Hero franchise and would be laying off hundreds of staff who developed for the music game genre.
Activision isn’t in the best of shape at the moment and their expecting their cash cow, Call of Duty, to sell less units next game. With no promising games on the horizon to help them, Activision is in a tough position. Though there is a way to solve their little problem.

Truly, this is the end of the days.
