While I agree with almost everything you said, I would respectfully disagree that CDLC does not help extend the life of the game. RS has done a fine job providing a fairly wide variety of artists and songs in their DLC offerings but there are obviously a lot of songs and artists who may never agree to the use of their music, along with a multitude of songs and artist that may never be selected for inclusion. CDLC helps fill in those gaps and keep the game "alive" for the fans of those songs and artists. Just my two cents.
