Guitar Hero and playing actual guitar are so different though that using GH as a "gateway drug" seems like a flawed methodology in my opinion. I'd be curious as to how many kids who have come to wanting to learn guitar after playing GH have actually stuck with it. Could be an interesting study.

Still, the fact that the simulation is so seductive and that there are powerful corporate interests heavily invested in as many people staying there for as long as possible is positively dystopian and seems like a nightmare version of the tobacco industry all over again.
