This is a very sad day for me indeed. It does say that weekly DLC is ending but I wonder if that extends for all DLC, maybe a monthly or bimonthly pack.
I wonder what the final song/song pack will be.

This is a sad announcement. It bums me out because there are so many 80' "hair"-era songs that have been waiting for, and it makes me want to give the finger to all the people who constantly complained about what the weekly releases were.
So I raise my glass with one hand to salute Harmonix and I flip the bird with the other toward all the detractors and complainers. |

I still don't understand why there wasn't something like:
Example - "This weeks Rockband's tracks (7th-14th)"
on the marketplace as one item, instead of spamming the new releases with each song individually.
(Not hating, but for a non RB player it was annoying too see the spam each week). |

Wow... I'm speechless. I think this may actually be it for music games. I know they were slowing down, but with Harmonix actually stopping the DLC releases, it's pretty much the same as taking a person off of life support.

Good riddance.
In the past 3 years there has been ONE song I would want to buy. I understand why they target high-mass-market-appeal songs, but it's hardly endearing for me.
Last song I bought was Caprici di Diablo. I'd have bought Amaranth but I sold the game a few months before out of disappointment with the DLC. |

Harmonix, thank you. Thank you for helping to do something very unique like release songs every week for over 5 years. Not many gaming companies could truly say they did that. Thank you also for not only introducing me to various bands, but for personally motivating me to learn guitar after people complained about RB and GH. If you ever create another RB game, I know I'll be sure to pick it up.
Basically thanks for an era of awesome. |

They have no plans to continue any DLC releases after April 2nd. There's a chance they could release something further down the line, but for now, there won't be anything. |

| I'm firmly in the "glad to see the back of them" camp. It just hogged the new release section of the add-ons and there have been times i've missed dlc for games i own due to how much RB took up. I think they should have come up with a better system for the new tracks to be available. |

As a hardcore rhythm game player ever since Guitar Hero II was released, this is the saddest news I've heard all year. Me and the rest of the rhythm game community have known it was going to be coming to an end for a long time now, but that doesn't lighten the blow any. Rock Band is my single favorite series to be released this entire console generation and it's such a shame that the consistent stream of DLC is finally coming to an end. I'll be sure to pick up everything that comes out on the last day. Whether or not you liked the game, it undeniably had one of the best developing teams behind it that listened to what the players wanted in their games, actually communicated with them through their forums, and they always made a quality product.
Also, another five dollars on the last song being American Pie by Don McLean. No idea what else it could be. |

RBN won't stop, so unless Microsoft decides to group new releases the same way Sony does, it'll continue to "clog up" the new add-ons section that usually doesn't update for other games on days other than Tuesdays. |

Hopefully, they will just stop releasing music every week in the end. I do hope for some carryover if there is a rockband 4. I have been a midnight release follower since rock band 1. |

#26, exactly my thoughts.
Also sad with all these tracks, not one Soulfly song. Kept hoping one day. Guess there is a lot of different music people have been waiting for but wont be seeing. But thanks for your great support Harmonix and variety of music you have offered us.
