Paul McCartney working on game soundtrack, "a fascinating market"
Former Beatle Paul McCartney is behind the soundtrack of an as of yet unannounced video game, as the musician notes (pun!) that games sell "so much better" than CDs these days.
I imagine that's been true for quite a while thanks to a little thing called digital. No developer or publisher for this game has been indentified yet. What genre landed Macca then?

Rock Band developer Harmonix has been sold by former parent company Viacom for around the price of one of its games; a scamp $49.99.

Harmonix has said that any new tracks from October 26th onwards won't be supported by Rock Band 1 & 2, citing the "new authoring standards" used.
All those new instruments and "new lighting / venue cues" are to blame also. All 'RB3 only' tracks won't appear to other Rock Bands to 'avoid accidents'.

Senior designer Dan Teasdale of Rock Band studio Harmonix has left the team and now resides at Twisted Pixel, working on a "cool new project."
