Wow, they should have a fun time enforcing this.

all it means is they're not technically supported. it's not as if they listed consequences if you did in fact use rock band equipment. sure, the wording sucks, but the point seems completely understandable to me. Who wants to answer support calls and questions regarding another company's merchandise? that's just silly.

Why should it matter. It doesn't matter what instrument you use, it's how much ass you kick. If one controller happens to be better for ass kicking, you might want to use that one. If I was at Activision, I wouldn't worry about the strat, but the drums are more likely to be used. But seriously, what are they going to do if they find out I've been using RB drums? Refuse me service? That'll work. If they don't want me as a costumer, I'll gladly invest my money in a different rhythm game... Possibly one with more DLC....

Tl;dr: Get over it, Activision.

In that case, why did they make RB Drum charts?

I think that it means that they don't support for the RB instruments and that anything that comes out from using them, say...Your game for some reason freezes or something weird happens because of it and you were not using their equipment, they aren't liable for anything.

That's just my guess though lol

There is one thing that kinda makes that fail. If they hate you using other instruments, then why do they have support for RB Drums?

i think it says the same on GH3, on one of the intro screens or somewhere... and Kotaku likes to make a big deal out of everything that could negatively affect NS

Man if i wasnt to lazy to make a kotaku account i would throw down a comment saying that maybe they should have released working drums if they didnt want people using their rockband drums in the game
