When The Rock Band Party Is Over

    A funny thing about digital games: Companies can nuke them at will from space, or wherever their corporate board room is. Which is what people who bought Rock Band for iOS (along a bunch of add-on music I'm sure!) are finding out. A pop-up message is telling Rock Band players the game won't be playable after May 31. Money, game, achievement — poof. Of course, EA's still happy to take your $5 for the game it's about to kill.
