Of course, I doubt Harmonix have as much leverage now that they're owned by MTV, but if you go by past history, it's bound to happen that Harmonix will stop working on Rock Band soon. This is already evident by RB:U.

Well, the people who think this are off base. Personally, I prefer RB, but it has nothing to do with this reason. I like RB's presentation. I've always like Harmonix's style (going back to Frequency and Karaoke Revolution). I like the emphasis on full band rather than super difficult guitar parts (I'm a singer/songwriter, so I appreciate a good lyric as much as a good lick). I have no inner "hatred" toward either group. I just appreciate a good time.

If, for some reason, Harmonix abandons RB (but with being under MTV's finger, they might not allow them to), and it begins to suck, then I'll reevaluate. There are some who think music games are just a fad and people will eventually tire of them anyway. Who knows. I don't have any loyalty to either group. I'll play whatever is worth my money. I bought RB2 and GH:WT, but find myself playing RB2 way more. That's just the way it is. You just gotta be careful getting into arguments with idiots man. Before you know it, you start sounding like one, haha
