Not that I was great at Pro Keys or even had the Pro Guitar but this is very disappointing news. They state that they don't have the manpower to make Pro Keys charts anymore but there are more than a few people in the community who would love to work on Pro Keys charts for Harmonix at any cost but Harmonix don't seem to want to let them. I know it's a bit more complicated than that but if there is an entire community willing to help you with it and pretty much your only excuse behind it is laziness or lack of willingness to devote time or resources to it then it's not a good look.
Still, I'll probably pick this up but I'll have to grab an Xbone for it probably as the 360 is where I have Rock Band 3 and all of the DLC. It's nice to see there's a new game coming out though and I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for the setlist.I like pro keys and I have a pro guitar, but I am ok with it. There is always more to the picture than what we see, and I don't think laziness has anything to do with it.
They have sufficient data to know whether it is worth including or not, and it very likely comes down to an equation. It doesn't matter if the community is willing to chart keys or not because it is probably more related to licensing cost than hiring someone to chart keys. On top of licensing, that would mean they would have to develop/release a new keytar, and the last one didn't sell very well. Don't forget that there is nothing set at this point regarding old instruments, and even if that comes to be, it is a small subset of a small subset that even got the old keytars.
All this applies to the pro guitar too, it didn't sell particularly well either, and add into it that they really got one upped by Rocksmith, so they would have to really do a ton of stuff to make it worthwhile there, and not just charting.
