With the announcement of Rock Band Network, where music author can put their songs as a downloadable for Rock Band 2, its clearly user generated type of games are becoming a trend.
We have seen some successful user generated content games like Little big Planet, 'coming soon' Modnation racing, even Starcraft 2 will allow user to create and sell their map creation. And now Rock band network, which I'd say excellent, because it does not just involved with gamers but musicians as well. They could get quicker exposure than before with their music. And I will not be surprised if record companies will try to browse and hope to find some talent in there.
The problem will be, there will be lots and lots of average musics, even bad ones. And if it doesn't managed carefully, it will be like searching a neddle in haystack. And what if there is a similar music, is it going to be a legal battle?
Nevertheless, user generated content continue proving to be a viable business especially in videogame industry. I expect this trend will continue. Guitar Hero network next?
