Quoted from pinmister:I really don't see this happening in the near future. Stern usually does not like to compete with themselves. They just released Aerosmith, why would they even think about a AC/DC vault to take away from potential sales for Aerosmith. I could be wrong but it seems highly unlikely.
Agree.
No way it happens whilst they still have Metallica and Aerosmith on the books. Once they drop off, there's a definite possibility ... but Aerosmith is new and supposedly they've extended the Metallica license as it continues to sell so well (decent code is a funny thing, huh?).
I'd assume that, whilst they still have the license for KISS, they've pretty much written off any significant future sales at this point so it's likely a non-factor.
As a LUCI owner, if it means they'll finally polish up the code and use currently useless inserts, I'd be all for it. 3 years now since last code was released. But, 1) for the above reasons I think it's unlikely at the moment and 2) I don't think a VE is any guarantee of code upgrades, given recent form.
