Facebook users have been clicking on the āBecome a Fanā button on Activisionās Guitar Hero page like crazy, making it the first video game franchise to gather more than a million Facebook fans.
If you had any doubts about the ever-growing importance of Facebook to the game industry, look no further than todayās Activision announcement, heralding the impressive number of fans the Guitar Hero Facebook page has gathered. Itās not about sales. Itās not about review scores. Itās about people clicking on a little button, and one million (1,084,288 as of this writing) people clicking a button is certainly impressive.
The page is used mainly to request feedback from the Guitar Hero community, asking the community which songs are the hardest to play, what bands theyād like to see, and generally gathering data that could be used to make future updates and versions of the game more tailored to community tastes.
That, or they could just be generating random conversations, though Iād like to think it was the gathering data thing.
So, are you one of the million fans?
