Martyn Ware, co-founder of the English synth-pop band Heaven 17, revealed that his band turned down an offer from Rockstar Games to include their song Temptation in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6 soundtrack. Ware shared his reaction on social media, claiming the offer amounted to $7,500 for the song, with a buyout of all future royalties. The artist expressed his displeasure at the proposal, referring to the amount as shockingly low. In his statement, Ware wrote, “Naturally excited about the immense wealth that was about to head my way, I scrolled to the bottom of the email re the offer… IT WAS $7,500 – for a buyout of any future royalties from the game – forever.” Ware added, “Go f**k yourself,” in response to the proposal, noting the discrepancy between the payout and the potential earnings from the game.
