Report: RedOctane founders staying with Activision

by Justin McElroy on Feb 23rd 2010 3:00PM

Though music game pioneer RedOctane may have all but evaporated in the recent round of Activision layoffs, it seems that the driving force behind it, founders Kai and Charles Huang, will remain with the publisher, according to a report from Develop.

Though they're not fleeing, we've been given no hints as to what the Huangs will be doing now at Activision. Ever the optimists, we breathlessly (and no doubt foolishly) await a console follow-up to In the Groove.

In the Groove is owned by Konami as part of the lawsuit against Roxor Games. RedOctane was only a publisher.

"RedOctane was only a publisher."

The long and fruitful story of their existence.

That's all true, but it doesn't change the fact that I want another In The Groove sequel, dammit!

This is so wrong.....

Why cut off the head of an old cow when it is still making milk?

I heard Kotick needed new foot rests...maybe thats what they're doing these days...hopefully for their sake Kotick won't announce a plan to take the fun out of being a foot rest too...

"We've been given no hints as to what the Huangs will be doing now at Activision."

Presumably, they'll be given special offices, where speakers will play an endless loop of Bobby Kotick talking about how dumb he was for buying Red Octane instead of Harmonix.
