"Rock Band 4, the newly released title in the long-running music game series has a lot of DLC. A lot. The game is selling a massive amount of music tracks, all individually. If you want to purchase all of them, you’d be out an impressive $3,926.

Rock Band 4 offers almost 2,000 songs (1973 or be exact) for sale, and each is selling for $1.99. This is taking micro-transactions to a whole new level. 

The game launched on October 6 on the PS4 and Xbox One, and ships with 65 songs on the disc. Luckily, if you purchased songs for other Rock Band games on the PS3, you’re able to transfer those to the PS4 and use them. 

It is quite surprising that they are charging $2 for songs when the same songs can be purchased and owned on iTunes and other platforms for half the price."

The worse of the game industry and the worse of the music industry combined makes a deadly alliance.

...I'm speechless.

I'm not even angry at this, just stupefied. Surely, they took a look at this and thought, "This is too far, right?"



 
I WON A BET AGAINST AZUREN! WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

:3

I think it has a very good and fair DLC model. Especially with the carry over from previous generation Rock Band games.

The last point about charging twice the cost of the song is ridiculous. You aren't just buying an mp3 are you? Harmonix have created the track 'level'. And I would assume the artist/label get more money for these rock band tracks than an mp3 sale, in the same way as it doest cost $1 to put a song into a movie/advert/game etc...

In other news: A mass fist fight has broken out between employees of Ubisoft and EA in an attempt to fend off each other's bids for the Harmonix acquisition.

The Witcher 3 DLC's are the pinnacle of fair DLC imo.

After seeing how CD Projekt handled the games content, seeing these type of things makes me sad.



it would be nice an ultra edition with most of the songs at $1000 =D



Call me crazy, but this DLC doesn't sound that bad. At least, if the game comes with enough music from the start, of course. I would have prefered a 1€/track, but I'm not interested in the rythm genre to begin with, so what do I know.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

I had to look up the developer just so I could confirm whether this game was developed by EA or not. Surprisingly it is developed and published by Harmonix. At least they allow you to use the instruments from previous games. I will give them that.

That is a hefty price to download all the songs. I am surprised they do not offer bundles as a means to lower the price a little if someone wanted to download all of the songs rather than a few select songs here and there.
