With the exception of one outlier (Aspyr Media, who ported GH3 to PC and Mac), Activision Blizzard has now locked in what we affectionately dub the "Guitar Hero sweatshop." With Neversoft at the helm, Budcat is working with PS2 and Vicarious Visions will be responsible for Wii and DS versions. At the time of acquisition, Budcat was also reportedly working on the Wii's Our House for publisher Majesco.

Damn, I'm glad these asshats never bought Harmonix.

Seconded.
After playing GHWT and Rock Band 2, tracklist aside it's pretty clear that Harmonix has the superior design.

Kotick has quickly elevated himself to become my least favorite personality in gaming. Zelnick, no more.

maybe its just me, but it seems like Activison is determened to kill guitar hero as fast as they possible can
