Re: Konami has acquired In The Groove

Same reason pepsi and coke both exist even though they're owned by Coca Cola. This really could just mean more money for Konami.

Are you sure both coke and pepsi are owned by Coca-Cola?

I don't think this will end well for ITG :<

Most unfortunate.

Dear god I hope I never have to see a piece of **** remixed radio-played pop song on ITG.

I hate ITG. Konami FTW! It wouldn't bother me a bit if there was no ITG

Re: Konami has acquired In The Groove

Personally, I find this entire thing rather entertaining. It's typical, actually.

Big company acuires fanbase.

Big company begins to slack (In some people's eyes, anyway).

Small company caters to fanbase.

Small company acquires fanbase, steps on big company's toes.

Big company gets angry, sues, attempts to cater to win back fanbase.

Small company gets slaughtered, but gets the last laugh (r21).

This would make for a great anime series, don't you think? =P

I know I'm an ass, but Pepsi is not owned by Coca Cola.

And business wise, it would be more profitable to shut down the rival company so there is no competition. All stores would be forced to distribute coke (well, for the most part. There is always Rc Cola and that junk).

If I were Konami, I would take what's good with ITG and then pack it away for good.

Re: Konami has acquired In The Groove

A good move on Konami's part would be to continue both series. Why? Same reason pepsi and coke both exist even though they're owned by Coca Cola. This really could just mean more money for Konami.

Not a very good idea...

Its just like the WWE. First it was just that, then along came WCW and ECW which quickly became popular. Then WWE bought both brands, killed WCW, and broguth back ECW but its not the same ECW as it used to be years ago cause ECW is controlled by WWE.

If Konami does that with ITG, things will never be the same again.

basically this was the only thing roxor could have done to prevent losing the court case and giving everything related to itg over to konami

Re: Konami has acquired In The Groove

I am not a fan of ITG at all. DDR is so much more known than ITG anyways. I highly doubt that Konami bought ITG because they felt threatened by it because when people think of dance-based rhythm games, they think DDR.

Ok so DDR is too easy? Are you AAA'ing Fascination Max?
