Tweet screenshot Martyn Ware @martynware 1d I was recently contacted by my publishers on behalf of Rockstar Games re the possibility of using Temptation on the new Grand Theft Auto 6 Naturally excited about the immense wealth that was about to head my way, I scrolled to the bottom of the email re the offer... 503 855 ♡5.9K l 1.3M 1 Martyn Ware @martynware 1d IT WAS $7500 - for a buyout of any future royalties from the game - forever... To put this in context, Grand Theft Auto 6 grossed, wait for it.... $8.6 BILLION Ah, but think of the exposure... Go fuck yourself

Their response:

"GTA 5 made $8.6B ... Go fuck yourself"

"Pumping the synths through massive distortion and overloading the desk. How prescient is that? The ethos of what we were doing was to kind of future-proof it all. We were envisaging people playing this music in 10 or 20 years' time." #MartynWare

'I honestly can’t believe that my old friend Boy George has made an overtly pro-genocide, anti-Palestinian piece of musical propaganda…

George, you should be ashamed - I hope you think the money was enough to sell your soul… vile'

"Re Oasis…

A special shoutout to Noel who explicitly insulted and denigrated Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership thereby helping to enable the fucking centrist assholes (AKA red tories) in charge now…
