Activision paid $99.9 million for Guitar Hero's publisher in 2006, made over $2 billion off the franchise, then killed the entire genre in four years. Today that publisher's name came back from the dead to sell plastic guitars again.
RedOctane was two brothers, Kai and Charles Huang, who started out selling dance pads. They published the first Guitar Hero in 2005 and it hit $1 billion in North American sales in 26 months, faster than any franchise before it.
So Activision did what Activision does. Annualize.
In 2009 alone they shipped Guitar Hero 5, Band Hero, DJ Hero, and Guitar Hero editions for Metallica, Van Halen, and Smash Hits. Six music games in twelve months.
That playbook works for Call of Duty because a sequel only asks for $60. A Guitar Hero sequel asked you to justify the $100 plastic guitar already in your closet, and every new SKU competed with the last one on the same shelf. Genre revenue went from $1.7 billion in 2008 to about $300 million in 2010. Activision shut down RedOctane, then the whole Guitar Hero business unit.
They strip-mined ten years of demand into three.
Now the Huang brothers are back as advisors at a revived RedOctane, the studio head is a Guitar Hero veteran, and Stage Tour launches December 10 with 90 licensed songs and 180 real Gibson guitars. Fifteen years of untouched demand, and the people who invented the genre finally get a second run at it.
Build your band, hit the stage, and go on tour! 🤘

@I_AM_WILDCAT It’s the most expensive piece of media ever made and they’re selling it at a cheaper price than 2k does every year. Apparently there’s a couple parts of the story not included, but the vast majority is just cosmetics which people don’t look at anyways
@scrufacejean Check out @DaTruthDT . First learn leader skills (which are the teams). Read through the event tabs and see if there’s missions you can complete
xQc explains why 5v5 Overwatch is worse than 6v6 👀
"the focal point is on one tank... the shape of the fights are very conical and focal point oriented... when you add a second tank it changes the geometry of the fights"
