EA to Shut Down Rock Band for iOS and Leave Users in the Dark

EA to Shut Down Rock Band for iOS and Leave Users in the Dark

Nick Hernandez 03 May

With companies pushing digital games over physical copies of games they actively control when can and can not play games which they were previously unable to do with physical copies of games. However,Electronic Arts is making an unclear move now by shutting down their Rock Band game for iOS but that is not stopping them from continuing to sell it until the last day on the App Store.

Unlike traditional ways of games being discontinued, EA is disabling the games on all iOS devices by the end of this month and has no immediate plans to give a single user a refund. But if it makes you feel better they are only selling the game for $4.99 now instead of the $9.99 price tag they had when the game launched in 2010.

EA has made no statement about the shut down and there is also no warnings on the games page but I assume the shut down and disabling of the game on the devices is due to music license issues and royalities. So, if you have purchased the game prepare to be angry and get all the use of the game you can now.

About The Author

Nick Hernandez

based out of London, Ontario; and has been flexing his literary skills for about 2 years. Initially attracted to the space due to his kinship with the creative minds that tend to socialize through the gaming industry, and having played games all his life; it led to a natural willingness to learn more about both the people, and entities that drive innovation in the space. A self-confessed Conter Strike: Source aficionado he claims the aforementioned as his favourite game of all time, simply due to the sheer amount of hours he has spent in the game. An optimist by nature, Nick tends to see the best in everyone, even if they can’t in themselves.

    Is this game available in Europe? I wouldn’t be surprised if the entire continent pounced on EA for denying them access for something they paid for. See, this is why I support the jailbreaking of such things, to have something I pay for do what I tell it to. Bastards.
