Artist To Rockstar After $7,500 Offer To Use Their Song In GTA 6 -- "Go F**k Yourself"

An English artist has reacted to a purported offer from Rockstar Games to include his band Heaven 17's 1983 song "Temptation" in Grand Theft Auto VI, saying the offer of $7,500 was "extremely low."

Martyn Ware, 68, said on social media that he was recently contacted by his team to discuss an offer from Rockstar Games about the possibility of putting "Temptation" in GTA VI. Ware said he was "naturally excited about the immense wealth that was about to head my way," that is, until he saw the actual offer: $7,500.

Ware said this amount would have covered "a buyout of any future royalties from the game--forever." Ware went on to (incorrectly) state that GTA VI has already grossed $8.6 billion and that he believes he was low-balled because having the song in GTA VI could generate "exposure" for the song.
