Rock band. DLC to be stopped the end of rock band

[arcnas]

Due to issues dlc for rock band is being stopped on the wii and ps3. I suppose it had it stop after 4 years but I will miss it, harmonix say it could start after the summer again but I can't see it

Where'd you hear this? They said at GDC that DLC would keep going?!

Yeah, it's going to take a bit more than this thread before I believe this.

On the announcement page of rockBand and forums it's true but will continue on the 360

Don't worry, I'll post the link.

It's just a licensing issue, is all. It doesn't apply to PS3 in the US, so will probably be rectified before too long. There's certainly no indication that DLC is stopping in any permanent way or form.

Nice misleading post there! from the forums it says:

Hey gang,

Starting April 3rd there will be a temporary interruption in DLC service for SCEE (Sony Europe), NOA (Nintendo in America) and NOE (Nintendo in Europe). This downtime is a direct result of mandatory changes being made to our DLC publishing arrangements.

What does this mean for PS3 and Wii users in the affected territories?

• Starting 4/3 there will be a temporary interruption of new DLC releases (including RBN)
• The existing catalog of previous RB DLC releases should remain available as usual
• Export for all eligible RB titles should be unaffected
• Our hope is to resume regular DLC service by this summer

We know that this isn’t ideal news for those of you still picking up new DLC every week, but you can trust that this short down time is necessary to ensure the continued release of DLC and the continued availability of the thousands of songs in the back catalog. There is no precedent for managing a library of content this size, and no standard for making changes on this scale but we are working hard to ensure that the process is as quick and as smooth as possible.

We’ll refresh this post with updates and responses to FAQs in the coming weeks, so please keep posted for more info. Thanks a lot for your patience and understanding.

Not misleading I stated in my post that harmonix. Hope to start it in the summer but I have my doubts

Pretty sure the headline "DLC to be stopped. The end of Rock Band" is misleading as it's a hiatus while they sort out the licensing.
