In news that is sure to rock the industry, Epic Games has announced it has acquired Cambridge-based Harmonix, developer of Karaoke Revolution Volume 2.
However, it appears the news has hit a sour note with gamers, with many selling their entire collection of plastic toy instruments 10 years ago at yard sales and on Facebook marketplace in protest. More troubling, in a clear rebuke of Epic Games, many fans have outright thrown away their axes and kits over 5 years ago, saying "We're not gonna take it!"
Still, some are optimistic about the pairing.
"Glad that Harmonix will survive for a bit longer, I know they've had a rough go of it lately," said a man running at a local High School athletic track made from 40% recycled post-consumer plastic.
Stay tuned as, unlike Harmonix and anything other than Fortnite, this story is developing.
