Just found out buy reading neogaf:

"Profit, excluding the sale of its Harmonix game business and tax benefits, was 75 cents, topping the 70-cent average of 26 analysts’ estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Viacom said today it will sell Harmonix, creator of the Rock Band music video game."

I guess no more rock band if viacom owns the ip. Who would buy them??? Microsoft to make more dance central??? or will they go back to activision??

I think Microsoft would be a better fit than Activision for some reason.

Pixel Art can be fun.
