Oh well. I'm sure most of you know about this, but I put it here in case you didn't.

Oh yeah. I heard about that on the radio this morning.
They just couldn't compete with Rockband huh?

In the long run this is probably for the best but all those people at Activision are gonna lose their jobs, which sucks

Konami quietly suggested that continuing to compete with them in arcade rhythm gaming could only lead to sadness.

I really wish Konami would bring GF/DM to the US, especially with XG being so ridiculously awesome. Every other Bemani game (that's still alive) has made it here in some form. IIDX in the US flopped because the learning curve is crazy steep all the way through, but GF/DM is a whole lot less frustrating (until you get past 70s), and I'm sure XG isn't much harder to learn.

And yeah, bye Guitar Hero, good riddance. I hope DJ Hero meets the same fate. These American music games just don't have the replay value of Bemani games, and I hate how they overhaul some aspect of the gameplay nearly every release.
