This update removes the song Space Oddity from the game due to changes in licensing, and replaces it with a new original song by Petri… pic.twitter.com/Eem40e6vRd

This is the exact same reason every Crazy Taxi reboot fails. It's just not the same without The Offspring songs.

I actually posted the quick and easy way to get it all back (including the original store names) here a couple months ago. Can find it if you're interested, but I'm sure I got it from the game's Steam forum or guides anyway.

They replaced all the licensed songs in Daria with generic bullshit in the DVD release and it completely ruined the show in retrospect.

Just start writing licensing contracts that state you can use the song for that game, in perpetuity throughout the universe, as long as the game is fundamentally unchanged.

Literally just google "gta [insert number] downgrade" and you'll find the website that tells you exactly how to restore the music.

I was looking for this song on spotify the other day. I thought they didn't have it because of licensing bullsit. Turns out it was because it's not called "Major Tom"

Didn't they already delist the game some years back because of expired song licensing but then brought it back? Can they only buy the license in 5 year chunks or something?

The excuse they use is that 5 year chunks is cheap and perpetual is extortionate.
