It's only rights within that specific game forever, right..?
They aren't paying £7,500, they're paying £22,500 (3 x £7,500).
When was the last film that had 400+ songs?
Is he though? GVA6 will be an absolute BEHEMOTH of a game - I'm well aware of Heaven 17 and Temptation but he IS relatively small fry compared, so I wonder what a fair fee would be? £100,000 perhaps?
I also assume not all artists are being offered the same fee - i.e. if there's a new unreleased...
And it is understandable that the value he places on it will be much, much, much higher than the value Rockstar place on it.
Not you @Wozza, but I think some are missing the sheer scale of the GTA games. There will be 400+ songs and countless other bits that will require licensing.
