Does this go for Rock Band too?
|

No, Harmonix is in charge of Rock Band. I don't think Rock Band has any Gibson ties anyway.
Personally, I think Gibson is just trying to rip Activision off. If they were really offended by something like this, Gibson would've done this 3 years ago when Guitar Hero first came out.

:lol:@Gibson failing.
So Guitar Hero IV will probably feature a whole different guitar now.
|
| |
@Gibson failing
My exact thoughts.
|
| |
Wow, as if Gibson really needs the money...bastards.
|
| |
Ha! It's hilarious. Guitar Hero and Rock Band are massive successes so everyone will jump at the chance to get in on some of that money some how. This isn't the first of these weird suits and it prolly won't be the last either.
|
| |
This is as funny as when RHCP sued that TV show.
|
| |
So they've worked closely with this franchise for years, plastering the game with their guitars, and now have randomly decided that the game is infringing their own extremely broad patent?
Epic fail on so many levels.
|
| |
I can't believe that Gibson would be so heartless... they are bastards for trying to take Guitar Hero off the shelves just because of some shit agreement that they think was broken... greedy bastards
|
| |
How lame.
|
| |
@Gibson failing.
eeeeeyep.
|

I play a Gibson so I am a little bias...
|
| |
lol
|
| |
I play a Gibson so I am a little bias... Don't worry, little buddy. One day you'll grow to be a big bias, and then you can do whatever you want!
|
| |
Sounds like a rip off to me
|
| |
wow... *awed look*. I want to be as big a Bias as eliminator when I grow up!
|
| |
You will never be as bias as him...but you can dream little one...you can dream.
|

If you're going to play their little game about the grammar error, at least keep it consistent.
If Gibson is just remembering that they had this patent, quite pathetic book-keeping on their part or whatever. If they just kept it lurking to wait for GH to get big, then this just isn't cricket.
|
| |
I bought GH3 recently, and it came with a Kramer model guitar.... strange.
|

Gibson are making themselves look like utter fools. Look at the case they put up against PRS, sueing their Singlecut model, it's a joke where they never had a chance to win. Predict they'll have no chance as they were part of this collaboration. Wake up, money grabbers, way to build a reputation for your future industry plans.
|
| |
lol hey guys we just remembered this patent we filed like ten years ago um you owe us lots of moneys
|
| |
lawsuits like this are common in the gaming industry, where broad patents like this are the norm rather than the exception. Remember the hit and run Simpson's game? They got sued for the arrow pointing which way to drive, because that idea was patented.
