Interesting. On guitar hero 1 and 2, Harmonix developed while red octane held the IP and made the peripherals. Then Harmonix moved on to make rock band 1-3 and made their own peripherals. Now, it looks like they've come full circle and have mad catz in place of red octane (who actually made the most durable plastic guitar ever). Hope this works out well!
