1 - The money overlords (i.e. VC owners) want a return on their investment (buying HMX), and dictated quite a while ago to abandon all work on rhythm games. The dance game is the only product that...

It's going to be one song from every band that has been disgustingly ignored in favor of metal and pop dreck.

Killing Joke
Pigface
Revolting ****s
Shriekback
My Life with the Thrill Kill...

Put a nail in the coffin everyone, your investment is now obsolete. If you didn't play every song that you purchased, and enjoy every dollar that you spent, it's your own fault.

Next gen consoles...

That seems most likely. Right now their "owners" are trying to recoup their DLC licensing investment with minimal effort/expense. From what we know of the people at HMX, they definitely have plans...

They also said that they weren't doing a stringed guitar after Harrison spilled the beans.

Good DLC two weeks in a row? HMX is getting my hopes up for a sequel announcement, only to dash them to the ground yet again. (For those that are humor impaired, put a smiley in there.)

And here I was checking out the forums just so I could complain about the sorry state of DLC, and they release a great pack. Hopefully we won't have to wait another six months for the next one.

So many moving parts. The different console venders will have different plans for compatibility. DLC is tied to a marketplace, so that would have to migrate transparently. HMX will have to see a...

Yay, four pack! Meh, band choice. Carol King would have been nice for the female vocalists. Maybe later.

Nor dies it mean that they will work. This is the first time that we will be going from an on-line console to another on-line console. Considering DRM, microtransactions and monetization of...

I am really surprised that anyone here actually plans to play that game. I mean, next to the depth of a cooperative game like RB, it's almost laughable. I guess a lot of people just want a simple...

Clampdown, Dragula, or Chop Suey on pro drums.

But that's the crux of the issue really. HMX knows that a popular three pack plus four singles was the sweet spot to keep the fans happy. They also know that only three songs a week was a major...

Yes, rhythm guitar is critical for Voxtar'ing folks, since it's usually that way in a band. There are many bored vocalists looking for something to do while the plastic guitarist is solo wankering...

Bow Wow Wow and throw in Adam and the Ants Stand and Deliver for the true double drummer experience.

Or to put it another way, the $millions up front was a ridiculous amount to pay any band to put their music in a video game. Sales were fine, but it was pure folly to think that they would sell...

Wow. I had to read the list of songs three times, because I knew it couldn't be right, but it is. Only one song in 6 months, and that was Rick Astley just for the lulz. Very very sad times.
...

And the slide into obscurity continues.

There's a great metal band called Oxymoron.

This is the longest drought in RB history. I can't remember the last song that I was even tempted to buy. Is there any way for HMX to dig themselves out, or is this the beginning of the end?
