Lead singer and co-songwriter of Heaven 17 Martyn Ware has told Rockstar to “go fuck yourself” after being offered $7500 – that’s around £5700 – to include their 1983 hit, Temptation, in Grand Theft Auto 6.
In a candid explanation posted to X/Twitter, Ware did not play down his dismay at the offer and stressed that predecessor GTA 5 grossed $8.6bn.
“I was recently contacted by my publishers on behalf of Rockstar Games [regarding] the possibility of using [1983 hit] Temptation on the new Grand Theft Auto 6,” Ware wrote.
