Harmonix sold for $ 50

A bargain in the midst of financial maneuvers millionaires, we expected at the base of the towering figures block sale of Harmonix by Viacom, which took place recently. An article published by All Things Digital, however, announced that the development team creator of Rock Band (and the same Guitar Hero) was sold to Viacom in Columbus Nova for the incredible sum of $ 50.

Obviously, it is simply a symbolic figure used to seal the agreement under which Viacom has released a team of maintenance expenditure rather substantial and it has regained independence and control over their own productions. The agreement also covers the management of games and accessories unsold and all rights pertaining to materials acquired by Harmonix Music for use in games.

The development team was acquired by Viacom in 2006 for $ 175 million, but the company did not meet the income shares of its day in the following years, leading to the decision to eliminate the team from his stables. Harmonix its part, seems glad of the new situation of independence and has announced great news of being developed by his studies.
