MTV Owners Plan to Ditch Rock Band Creators

/DATALINK/ AUTHOR: ALEX_C. | DATE: 01.01.0001

Viacom today said they plan

to sell the company behind Rock Band, Kinect’s Dance Central and the yono business sbi original Guitar Hero. The mammoth company didn’t explain yono business why they want to sell off Harmonix, but it’s likely tied to not just the slow

down in gaming sales, but also what seems to be a distinct drop off in interest in the instruments-required rhythm games.

No word on who might be picking Boston-based rummy meet Harmonix up, but since the developer has an on-going publishing deal with Electronic Arts, the second largest game maker in the world, that seems like a distinct possibility. Viacom Financial Announcements [Viacom]

The bonuses are nice and offer great value, although they could be a bit more frequent. I love being part of the VIP program, which gives me extra rewards and makes me feel appreciated as a loyal player.

Some games take a while to load on mobile, but once they start, the gameplay is smooth and exciting. I hope future updates improve mobile performance, but I still enjoy playing several hours a day.
