Earlier, we found out that Activision blocked the release of a patch by Harmonix that would allow PS3 Guitar Hero III controllers to be usable in Rock Band. The reason was not known until now. Answer: Activision is a money-grubbing corporation. It seems that Harmonix was not willing to pay them money for the compatibility, so they blocked the patch.

Activision spokesperson Maryanne Lataif was quoted in saying, 'Unfortunately for Rock Band users, Harmonix has been unwilling to discuss an agreement that will allow us to provide that option in a manner that maintains the high standards people have come to expect from Activision'. Basically, Harmonix hasn't been willing to discuss paying us an extremely large amount of money (rough translation).
