Music Video Games, an online casual music video game company, today announced an agreement with Rhino Entertainment (Warner Music Group) under which Rhino will license original recordings from WMG’s library and will advise MvG on the selection of music and artists for use in MvG games.
Here are some glowing press release quotes aimed at one another.
Vincent Bitetti, CEO of MvG.:
“We are excited to be working with Rhino on the selection of music for our games. This strategic agreement ensures that we will have the high–quality, well known music we need to achieve our goals. Our business model, game mechanics, and immersive, console-like graphics are unique to the market.”
In making the announcement, Mark Pinkus, Senior Vice President of Strategic Marketing, Custom Product and Synch Licensing for Rhino Entertainment said:
“Rhino has had excellent success finding new and interesting opportunities for its artists and its catalog across a number of innovative delivery platforms, especially in the rapidly growing video game market. We look forward to working with David and Vincent and the entire MvG team in developing a first-rate music experience as part of MVG’s high quality video games.”
MvG was founded by David Warhol, president of El Segundo-based video game studio Realtime Associates, Inc., and Vincent Bitetti, a video game publishing executive and former CEO of TDK Mediactive, which was sold to Take Two Interactive in 2004.
Just how many more “music games” do we really need?
