Ahead of Activision's 2010 fourth quarter financial report in February 2011, Activision disbanded its Guitar Hero business unit and announced that it would cease development of the planned 2011 Guitar Hero game.[17][18] Activision cited "continued declines in the music genre" to explain its decision.[19] The closure also affected the DJ Hero series, as Activision stated that there were no plans to publish a music game during 2011.[20] Activision's vice president Dan Winters later clarified that the company was "just putting Guitar Hero on hiatus" and that they were "just not making a new game for next year, that's all".[21][22]
