Well that sucks. Does this mean the games won't be playable at all? Or is it just being pulled from the App Store? Edit: Never mind. I figured it out. Everything will still be playable.
So I've decided to reinstall Rock Band & Rock Band Reloaded on my iOS devices. I have installed the software *and* music on all my iOS devices and I back that up via iCloud; however, the EA FAQ says: Q: Can I back up or restore my previously purchased songs after July 31, 2012? A. You will be able to restore your songs by iTunes provided you have an iCloud backup. An iCloud backup can be created before or after July 31 by selecting backup to iCloud in iTunes. So how do I restore *just* Rock Bank and/or Rock Band Reloaded (HD) to my iOS device? In my experience, using either iTunes or iCloud, a restore is an all or nothing affair. That means that if I want to restore Rock Bank and my music purchases in the futures, I will need to do a full restore of my device(s)?! I must have this wrong...right? I mean...do a full restore of multiple 64GB devices if I ever delete the game from any of my devices?! Oh. And I dread finding out that in some iteration of iOS, the entire game breaks! This ain't so good. Harmonix should at least allow EA to host the music files, but only to restore purchases. In addition, Harmonix should work with EA to provide patches in the future if/when iOS breaks the apps. Thoughts? --DotComCTO
