We’ve all been here before, and it seems all too familiar. A promising new music game falls victim to the perils of being niche and under-performing in the hostile retail world.

We had noticed that BandFuse had been pretty quiet on the social media front. They hadn’t updated their Facebook since February 28th and their twitter activity was close to non-existent. Our suspicions of bad news were confirmed hours ago via their Facebook Page:

There isn’t much else to say… It’s sad to see some hardworking people lose their jobs, and it’s even sadder to see the reactions from the community to the loss of their new favourite music education tool.

@BandFuse This is truly terrible news. I hope it can get resolved soon. I hold out hope that there will be more DLC coming in the future. — Scott Dillon (@elvenoracle) March 13, 2014

The BandFuse news is pretty awful 🙁 — Steve (@SteveMightSay) March 13, 2014

Woah woah woah, what happened with Bandfuse/Realta? — Craig Munn (@CraigAMunn) March 13, 2014

I was really looking forward to playing Bandfuse when it would come to the UK. Another nail in the coffin for music games 🙁 — Tom (@GrumbleVolcano6) March 13, 2014

Some sad news for BandFuse USA that can finally be shared. I will post something more personal shortly. http://t.co/0yxqndv6Na — GrumpyFuse (@GrumpyFuse) March 13, 2014

We will update with more information regarding future content and patches as it becomes available.

Update 3/14/2014:

Future DLC may still be released.

Update 3/17/2014:

“One parting tip – Its my understanding that Hendrix’s “Foxey Lady (Live) is suppose to come out from being a “hidden” track and only available by code at the end of this month. Check the store and grab it, its an awesome version of the song!

Until we meet again…”

All good things come to an end. MY time at @BandFuse is over today. Its been a lot of fun. THANKS 4 UR support! http://t.co/pHky3fF5PS — Jeff Marshall (@BandFuseJeff) March 17, 2014
