Are we really gonna play Six Degrees to Kevin Bacon here?

Here, here, here.

Me, my uncle who did vocals in the upcoming Grease game, the Wii it can be played on, Nintendo, Harmonix, The Beatles.


Now how much pull will I have with The Beatles?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I counted only two degrees of separation there. Vivendi owns both Activision and Universal Music Group, kind of like Viacom owned both Harmonix and MTV.

Hardly the kind of connection you have with The Beatles, no offense.

Even though one parent company owns them, it doesn't mean they're like two departments in the same building. UMG is an entirely separate entity from Acti-Blizzard, and the two very likely have no dealings with each other at all. Much like Warner Music Group and the other Warner properties (e.g., movies and video games).

But yeah, Cherokeesam about covered it. EA publishes several series that include licensed music, but how much of it comes to Rock Band? Not much. Don't assume because some places have ties financially(ownership or whatever it is in the case) that they can just toss their assets to each other like candy.

can we get a code for a the Beatles so we can export all the songs two rb3 please and thank you.

No, be quiet.

Why do I get the feeling this won't end well for future DLC :(

Wouldn't it be a lovely world, just knowing that Carson Daly held that much sway with the likes of Viacom and or MTV? Just sayin... I'm with Quastor in that no matter how it goes down, Harmonix should stay on with RB, for when they were split from the GH, that was a huge hot mess for Red Octane. Well, I'm glad with the announcement on the final split from Viacom, Harmonix isn't parting out the RB support just yet.

That would be sad.

Unless they start churning out multiple games per year (i.e. Guitar Hero), then the best way for them to make money is through DLC. This should be a good sign for DLC songs.

Because you refuse to read the part where they said they'll continue to support their titles, and they own everything they owned before the sale.

You also missed the part where MTV dropped the M.
