I never actually cared about playing these kind of games on PC, but if you find yourself disappointed because RB4 isn't coming on PC, here's why:

"There are a few reasons," Sussman said when we brought up the subject of PC and Rock Band 4 during our recent interview.

"One has to do with the fact the library is not there on PC. The library is there on Xbox and PlayStation. So, for players who want it on PC, really you're looking at a new audience that hasn't played before, and I don't know to what degree there is an audience for new players who have never played Rock Band before on the PC. That's one piece of it."

"The other piece is all the security issues, to be perfectly frank," Sussman admitted. "There's something comforting about the closed network that comes along with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. That's important to our partners in the music industry. Not to say that's an unsolvable problem."

Sounds rather reasonable to me.

More on EG.

Thoughts?

Console owners get rock band 4, pc owners get xcom 2. Seems fair to me.

I'm not missing much. What's next? Dance Central also isn't going to be on the PC? Fine with me.

I understand, there's probably barely any players on the consoles for these games, let alone on the PC.

People still play these games? I thought it was some little fad that died out like 5 years ago?

I'll never understand why people sink hundreds of hours into this crap instead of just, you know...learning how to play a real guitar.

Because PC gamers will mod their own songs and not pay for vastly inflated DLC ...

Let me guess - PC people are pretending they don't care? did they say something like "that's just one game"?
