Martyn Ware, the vocalist of the British pop group Heaven 17, criticized Rockstar Games on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). His post has already gained over a million views.

Martyn explained that Rockstar intended to acquire the rights to use his track Temptation in Grand Theft Auto VI. The company offered the musician $7,500 without any royalties from the game's sales. The vocalist found the offer insulting, citing Grand Theft Auto V's earnings of $8.6 billion, according to the singer. Many users online were surprised by Martyn's actions, as they argued that the musician could earn a significant sum due to the popularity that the Rockstar game would bring him.
