Martyn Ware, a founding member of Heaven 17, Rockstar Games has reportedly offered the band $7500 to use the band’s song ‘Temptation’ in Grand Theft Auto 6.
“I was recently contacted by my publishers on behalf of Rockstar Games re the possibility of using Temptation on the new Grand Theft Auto 6. Naturally excited about the immense wealth that was about to head my way, I scrolled to the bottom of the email re the offer…”
He continued, “IT WAS $7500 - for a buyout of any future royalties from the game - forever… To put this in context, Grand Theft Auto 6 [Ware meant Grand Theft Auto 5 here] grossed; wait for it… $8.6 BILLION Ah, but think of the exposure… Go fuck yourself.”
