[QUOTE="Zevious Zoquis, post: 247464, member: 3250"] Yeah, but the new version of the game wasn't free was it? I mean what's the difference between that and FS charging (a considerably smaller amount) for an update that brings the older assets up to current standards? It's easy for the Rockband dev to allow old dlc to stay in the game when they can charge $79 for the new game up front. That generates the $ they need to pay people. What chance at success would Harmonix have had if they gave Rockband 4 away for nothing? Not only that, but it's certainly not standard operating procedure for dlc to carry over from older versions of games to newer ones either... I think it's important to remember that the market for TPA is probably pretty much maxed out. I doubt there's many more people out there who are going to jump on board at this point - and we all have those old tables already so updating them for free isn't likely to generate much in the way of new sales at all. I estimate there's almost nobody who would look at TPA and see that FS had released a nice update that made the old tables prettier and decide "hey that's cool, I'm buying TPA and a bunch of tables."
