Wasn't this pretty recent? Did they buy the company just to lay people off??
I remember hearing that Harmonix was also acquired by Epic Games and there was a lot of speculation of a collaboration to reboot Rock Band using the Bandcamp library.
One of the lead developers at Harmonix was asked about this on Reddit and they only replied with an emphatic "No."
Seeing this now brings the bigger picture into focus.
