Activision acquires Red Octane

[Chilly Cha Cha]

Not exactly sure which forum is most appropriate but this seems like a good choice - "Other Bemani"

Activision has acquired Red Octane - looks like Guitar Hero had a strong influence on the decision of Activision.

Edit: Although as one commenter on joystiq points out - Harmonix actually developed GH - RO only published it - similar to Roxor and ITG CS

Edit #2: Late news - apparently a thread already exists in the ITG forum - odd considering there's no guarantee that RO was to have anything to do with ITG2 CS - especially after they mangled the songs on ITG CS with their unreasonable demands for censorship - oh well - feel free to lock.

I'm still wondering if this is a good thing or a bad thing...

There goes my hopes for a Guitar Hero link to a Drum version (similar to Guitar Freaks / Drummania).
