Guitar Hero fan site Score Hero can keep on "graciously documenting our future arthritis," thanks in no small part to developer Harmonix, who donated $2,000 to the website's $10,000 goal to upgrade their servers.
"Hey everyone, I just kicked in a big donation on behalf of the whole crew here at Harmonix. You guys are awesome!" posted Harmonix president Alex Rigopulos on the site's forums.
Comments made by site admin JCirri suggest the site's community is around 30,000 in size. According to the donation drive bar graph, the goal has been "met and exceeded." Visitors to the site may find the main page a bit slow loading, but don't worry -- the servers should be upgraded soon. Major kudos to Harmonix and the Score Hero community!

Yeah, real cool of them to support the fanbase like that.
Just goes to show all evil corporations aren't completely evil...
... Or maybe they just like publicity stunts... [shrugs]

Not as cool as Blizzard, but still really really cool.

That's pretty cool, and is really nice of them, as ledorky said the developers probably don't get a very big cut of the cash (though considering the game they're probably still getting a good amount)
Reminds me of how the Brothers Chaps (of Homestar Runner) donate to the Homestar Runner Wiki during drives because even they use it as a resource.

Well I guess all the money from the DLC has to go somewhere. :D

That was nice of Harmonix, but I'm wondering why they couldn't have just paid for the new servers. $2k is like the average man's paycheck.
