Yes and no.

Harmonix developed GH, Red Octane published. Harmonix was bought out by MTV. Red Octane was bought out by Activision. They parted ways.

Red Octane picked Neversoft as the new developer for GH3, because of the huge passion Neversoft had for the GH games (it was an on-going discussion between owners for the years past).

Harmonix is developing Rock Band, which is being published by EA. Yes, EA.
