Im not sure i can personally say either way on how rewardful Beatles rockband has been for Harmonix.

Until we see hard line profits, then all i can see is a game being made, followed by people being laid off, which doesn't scream success. The game itself has obviously sold well but i get the feeling the amount Harmonix paid for licenses out ways any substantial profit.
