This song won’t be in GTA 6; musician rejects outrageous offer from Rockstar Games

Rockstar Games continues to polish what is shaping up to be the best-selling game in history: GTA 6. Clues indicate that the company is approaching artists to get the themes that will adorn the game and there is one who rejected the offer, extremely indignant.

This weekend the founder of the English pop band Heaven 17 Martyn Ware took advantage of his account Twitter (X) to reveal that Rockstar Games approached him through his distributor to offer him money in order to license the theme song Temptation and thus be able to use it in GTA 6.

The problem is that the musician did not like the offer at all, which, according to him, was only $7500 USD and no royalties, which basically means that under the deal he would only make that amount of money, without the option to make more depending on the game’s earnings, which left him rather outraged, and he opted to send the company packing.

Temptation will not appear in GTA 6

Many might argue that this is a good amount for a topic that is not so relevant today and that it could serve as exposure so that young audiences become interested or discover this band… but Ware has a different point of view: “f*ck you“.
