Last month  Harmonix announced that Viacom had successfully sold the Rock Band developers to a multi-strategy investment firm based in New York by the name of Columbus Nova. Neither party involved has openly disclosed how much the transaction cost but according to the Wall Street Journal very little money exchanged hands. Unconfirmed reports are saying that Viacom basically unloaded all of their”expensive music rights fees, and responsibility for lots of unsold games and equipment sitting on warehouse shelves” to Columbus Nova all for…$49.99.
