Viacom Closes MTV Games [Slashdot]

eldavojohn writes "The Escapist is reporting that the MTV Games division of Viacom is being closed. After selling off Harmonix for an alleged equivalent of a single Red Lobster Gift Card, it turns out that Viacom's division known as MTV Games has little left on its plate. There's some bickering over missed performance-based payments, and MTV Games failed to secure a publishing deal for all the Rock Band games in Europe — which appeared to be the final nail in the coffin for them."http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F11%2F02%2F05%2F0558203%2FViacom-Closes-MTV-Games%3Ffrom%3Dfb) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Viacom+Closes+MTV+Games%3A+http%3A%2F% 2Fbit.ly%2FfrMg9K)

Well, at least this implies that a Snooki game won't be a reality.

Progress!

There goes my hopes of seeing an HD version of Beavis and Butthead Virtual Stupidity.
