So the gaming blogs that were purporting to have the set list for RB3 were only doing so to score Advertiser revenue? Not because RB has millions of fans dying to know what's going to be shipped w/ RB3? And if all they care about is money, wouldn't they be able to say the same about Harmonix? You’re in the business to make money too aren't you?

So I'm thinking that though gaming blogs look for breaking news and all want to be the first, I doubt it's all about money. They are usually hard core gamers who live, eat, breath games and gaming news.

I am not sure slamming the blogs that released the purported list was a good thing. They too are gamers and are potential customers. As are their loyal reader base. You might have lost some sales there.

And no, I am not associated in any way with any site, let alone sites that released the purported set list. Just a fan of Rock Band since the beginning….and was a little turned off by your video statement. You could have turned this into a GREAT social networking crush and had millions still talking about it. Instead, you choose to bash the sites that reported on the leaked list. Wow, you had the potential for millions in free advertising and to keep people guessing… somebody in your company needs to re-think your strategies.

hahahaha i know you're kidding but i still find it funny

I don't see how they were bashing the sites. It's more like go to these sites to see the set list.

If you're serious: They weren't.
