Activision vandalise Hendrix statue
BigKev \| 11:11 PM on 06.09.2008	17 comments

So in some sort of marketing ploy, the tribute to a legendary guitarist has been branded with their logo and stupid colourful buttons. Not cool.

Thanks for the in depth coverage we need on this issue. They should hire you as the next editor of Destructoid.

I was going to do a blog about this, but from the looks of things your incredible jouralism skills beat me to it.

Just kidding, but seriously though Activision is a dick.

lols jouralism

Conrad Zimmerman

That's incredibly retarded. Good thing I have no desire to buy another Guitar Hero already or this would turn me off to the series.

Too Much Coffee Man

All this does is make me want to buy Rock Band instead of Guitar Hero.

Activision could not possibly screw up any worse than this- why would anyone want to buy Guitar Hero more after seeing this?

Brian Szabelski

Activision is stupid. Enough said.

Activision in a show of "beat this Harmonix" one-up-man-ship, has announced today the creation of a new revolutionary sixth fret button for Guitar Hero 4.

The button, entitled Purple Haze, will be a purple-hued button two frets past the orange button on the neck of the guitar.

Activision was quoted as saying "Fuck man, that was a brilliant idea, wasn't it?"

Samit Sarkar

I don’t understand...is that a shoop, or did they actually deface the statue? The primary colored buttons look shooped on, but the Guitar Hero logo looks real.

Schmo0zle

This is fool proof. If it backfired and people thought they were dicks, they can just deny that they did it and say a fan must've done it.

Win?

Genfuyung

Fuck Activision.

Weegee

The picture made me laugh.

EternalDeathSlayer

I am now perfectly on the fence of the music-game war, just waiting to see who has the better pool party and hop off to join them.
