80's synthpop musician shares alleged low offer to license his track in upcoming open world game
Tldr
The offer, which Ware describes as for “a buyout of any future royalties from the game”, was allegedly for $7500
In another post it was said that $7500 per member was offered, totaling to $22500.
Which is still not a lot for giving up all future royalties, but their counter offer of 10x that ($225'000 in total) is a little much in my opinion as well.
But I'm still glad they spoke out, this way a more open discussion can happen about this topic.
For selling out all future royalties for a game in as huge and popular a franchise as GTA? Yeah, i think that counter offer is pretty fair actually
