      and there’s no way Rockstar is going to be paying $99 million dollars for just songs.

      GTA V/Online produced $8.5 billion in revenue.

      I mean, I guess you’re not wrong, (how else could they be milking it for this much money but being cheap?) but it still makes them fucking cheap bastards.

      Especially when they’re kind of a 1 hit wonder.

      But asking for as much as they did, you’d think their songs were much more popular. They’re no Billy idol, Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears, etc.

        If they’re a 1-hit wonder, maybe that’s why they want more up front: In case they gain no new listeners from the GTA 6 soundtrack and continue to be a 1-hit wonder.

        It’s like why football players have insane-sounding contracts: Because in the future they won’t be able to make the same kind of money.

        Sounds to me like homie was smart and thinking long-term.
