I read the article and I have to ask MTV one simple question "On what grounds do you want the $150 you willing gave Harmonix back for? Breach of contract or some superfilious reason?"
How about we get the money we spent indirectly on MTV back, when it stopped being Music Television? And I mean when they switched years back, not just recently. Then maybe they can beg for their money from Harmonix.
meh.....hearing the name ViaCom gives me hives at the thought of losing something that was relevantly fun to me. first tv, then YouTube, now this?. if they hit legal torrents, then it's war...
MTV must really need the money back pretty bad if they are doing this, my guess is another awesomely fantastic reality tv series has just been green lit and they need to pay the people involved. That or they are adding another music series without any actual music on it.
Or maybe Sumner Redstone just wants a new Ivory backscratcher.

Only if we also get money for when Video Hits 1 (which is, yes, owned by Viacom,) replaced music videos with reality shows involving C-list celebrities.samsonguy920 said:
If it's in their contracts that they can get reimbursement if their investment doesn't pan out, then yeah, of course they should be refunded...
but no, if your investments don't pan out in real life, you can't sue who you invested, unless they actually cheat you.. I don't think Harmonix did that.. They used the money to fund their projects, which didn't pan out well in the end..
but that's how life works.

Perhaps Viacom might want to consult its lawyers about the concept of "honoring terms of a contract" before continuing here.
Then again, that's just like Corporate America. They'll hold their customers to the most absurd terms possible, but the moment they have to honor their own obligations they run away faster than the French Army facing Germans.

Once again Viacom proves that it has no fucking clue how to handle the 21st century.
EDIT: Bonus Joke: MTV wants its $150 Million Back? Well I want MTV to actually play music on their channel again. Neither of which is ever going to happen.

Wow, I totally didn't see that coming.
So if I felt I got nothing out of my education, I could ask CSU Fullerton for my tuition back?
What a deal!

And it really doesn't matter what they generated in revenue if they're spending more than they take in. The #1 aim in business is to be profitable. There is nothing cruel or unfair about Viacom expecting Harmonix to honor their agreement.
Harmonix made a potentially great series but unfortunately they seem to have far more artistic pride than business sense. Rock Band has suffered a loss of players, which probably doesn't have as much to do with the economy as they might like to think. I say this as an avid player and follower of their endeavors. I truly hope they can turn things around.
I'd want my money back too. How much has Rock Band made anyway? Must be a few hundred million spare...
