I must be really dumb. I still don't get it. Thanks for replying though. "

They all have the word "nova" in them. It's a very loose thread, but it's amusing because it's such a loose thread. And, really, any excuse to post a clip from the old Turtles movies is worth it.

I just got Rock Band 3 with the keyboard 2 days ago. I somehow feel like this good news is my doing.

Harmonix bought by Harmonix... That's like dividing by zero.

I wish them the best in this somewhat cruel business that is the game industry, ESPECIALLY if they are going to stay exclusively in the music genre space.

Who actually owns Rock Band? If it's Viacom, Harmonix is going to have to come up with something new again.

Pretty much agree with everyone that this is a step in the right direction. The soundtrack is even likely to benefit with less pandering to what appears to be "popular" taste.

HMX owns RB. That was part of the original buyout.

What an odd conclusion, talk about coming around full circle...I'm glad that the Harmonix team seems to be happy with the resolution, though. I won't mind their return to smaller budget titles if that's where they're headed, but it seems like whatever they do, it won't solely rely on their existing franchises. As long as they keep trying new things, I'll be happy.

I hope they will still be able to make kick ass games without a big publisher backing them

@LordAndrew: It sounds like Harmonix still owns Rock Band. I would imagine they probably would made sure they got that from the beginning so they wouldn't see a repeat of the whole Guitar Hero / Activision thing.

Then again, I don't really want Harmonix to do another Rock Band, so I'm good either way.

I'm actually surprised that Microsoft didn't pick up Harmonix, considering that they may have the best chance of making the most innovative Kinnect games out there. Still, THREE CHEERS FOR BEING YOUR OWN DEVELOPER!
