Quick Question - Currently writing a history on all the shady stuff Activision has done over the years. Are there any any events that you can think of? I'm bound to have missed some, especially in the past 15 years as there's been so many!

- Full pro-guitar setup (cf. RB3) decided too complex; best-of-both-worlds input instead - sixth button, plus six-string module in the guitar body. - Executive review in January 2011; excitement all around, execs say they're extending release date by a year for extra polish.
- Majority of internal QA dep't laid off shortly thereafter, citing reduced immediate need for QA. - Q4 FY2010 earnings call in early February; day-of, e-mail goes out to all hands at VV to announce an all-hands meeting an hour prior to the call

- Turns out ATVI are shuttering the entire "Hero" unit instead, laying off 1/3rd staff at VV, closing RedOctane. Resulting layoff totals about 500 heads.

Lots more details than just that, such as the design director at VV (Adrian Earle, a wonderful, kind-hearted man) having to sit there and handle laying off his subordinates, then getting laid off himself. But yeah. That's about how it went.
