Update: Martyn Ware has clarified that the GTA 6 music deal his band was offered amounted to $7,500 for each of the song's 𝔉three writer༒s.
In response to a tweet about🅘 the offer, Ware, singer of band Heaven 17, confirmed that the deal was not $7,500 total, but "$7,500 each for three writers," amounting to a total payout of $22,500.
$7500 each for 3 writersStill utterly un𒁃acceptable Also $8.6B gross, not profit - but still…
Regardless of that increased figure, however, it seems Ware is in no hurry to accept⛦ the deal. He confirmed in 𒉰that tweet that the offer was "still utterly unacceptable," also clarifying that his previous comments about GTA 5's profit were not wholly accurate - the $8.6 billion figure he cited relates to gross revenue, not total profit.
Original story: Heaven 17 singer Martyn Ware claims that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rockstar Games only offered $7,500 to use the band's 1983 hit song Temptation in the upcoming GTA 6 "forever" - a proposition he refuse𝔍d because of GTA 5's outlandiꦫsh success.
"I was recently contacted by my publishers on behalf of Rockstar Games [about] the possibility of using [the song]🌜 Temptation on the new Grand Theft Auto 6," Ware recentౠly .
"Naturally excited about the immense wealth that was about to head my way, 𝐆I scrolled to the bottom of the email re the offer…IT WAS $7,500." Ware says the offer wouldn’t n♊et him with any royalty payments, and it gave the studio license to use the song in GTA 6 "forever."
"To put this in context, Grand Theft Auto 6 grossed, wait for it…$8.6 billion,ﷺ" Ware continued. "'Ah, but think of the exposure…' Go f**k yourself."
Rockstar Games' parent company Take-Two last a𝔉nnounced that the blockbuster crimathon had sold over 200 millioꦡn copies earlier this summer, though we don't actually know if that translates to $8.6 billion.
Either way, though, GTA 6 is primed to be the biggest thing on Earth next year. One analyst said GTA 6’s importance to the console market 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"cannot be overstated," while Take-Two's CEO himself reckon🦩s it could be "unmatched in the industry," so you’d 🦩expect the studio would up its music budget for a game that’ll continue printing m🔜oney for at least a decade.
