So Harmonix is only worth $50 after making a very successful product?

Just to ignore tax cuts? Viacom you sly dog!

crap like this is criminal.

if i valued my home or business for $50 to not pay the thousands in property taxes and other liabilities i would get thrown in jail but it's just business as usual for the big boys.

"Harmonix's buyers also assumed the game company's liabilities. That includes expensive music rights fees, and responsibility for lots of unsold games and equipment sitting on warehouse shelves."

True, and its probably quite a bit of debt. Didn't they just release a dance game for kinect?
