Rock Band Creator Gets $300 Million Bonus

Unread post by captainAngry »

Apparently ripping off someones idea and expanding on it is worth a lot of money. Last year Harmonics received a $150 mil bonus for being awesome and this year they got $300 mil. I still like guitar hero better. I don't have any rhythm so I am not good at either, but I enjoy guitar hero a lot more.

The man deserves it. Rock Band 2 is pretty much the best music game ever made.

This thread makes no sense. Harmonix created Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Since they gave the rights to Neversoft, Harmonix still gets revenue from Guitar Hero's sales.

Personally, I think Rock Band is better.
