Has the rhythm game bubble burst?
t's all doom and gloom for companies invested in music games right now.
Activision has announced plans to lay off the developers of Guitar Hero 6 once it's finished and drastically scale back on future installments in the series in 2010. Even Rock Band developer Harmonix has been told to partially return bonuses paid out by parent company Viacom.
This downturn in music game profits could just be the result of overzealous company estimates. But in your experience, has the appeal of this genre run its course? Do you and your friends still rock out with plastic instruments as much as you used to?
