    Bought Rock Band iOS? Enjoy it while you can, since it's being disabled May 31st.

    I understand that Harmonix had little/no part in the creation of this game, but this is INCREDIBLY disappointing. I bought the game when it originally came out and then picked up DLC for it, but I'm going to lose the game forever at the end of the month.

    Just thought I would let fans know, and warn anyone who was thinking about buying the game (the iTunes store, of course, makes no mention that the game is going bye bye).

    Maybe Harmonix could chime in, as well.

    What the heck? That's stupid, I paid like five bucks for that game! I hardly even played it, so I'd better start soon.

    Wow that really sucks. I could understand delisting it but to actually make it unplayable is really crappy.

    What the heck???? I paid money for this and now they are telling me that it won't work AT ALL anymore after May 31st?? How come? I can understand Multiplayer not working or something....but the whole game??

    That's why I don't buy iOS crap.

    No console bashing.

    But this could never, ever happen to Rock Band on PS3, right?
    We'll be able to play our massive collections of DLC songs, at least locally, forever and ever?
    I ask because I'm a worrier.

    In all seriousness, I think the worst that could happen with RB3 is that the Rock Band Servers could go down forever (someday they will!), and then we could no longer:
    1) play online multiplayer
    2) have our high scores recorded and ranked, with further analysis possible thanks to rockbandscores.com
    3) have our top 3 performances posted to Facebook every Monday
    4) have all of the fun things that the RB Dashboard provides

    I was like 3 quid from buying this today. I don't think this is fair at all. I can understand multiplayer going but I just can't see a valid reason to disable the whole game. Be interesting to hear what HMX has to say about this.
