Update: Band Was Offered $22.5k not $7.5k - Original Tweet Did Not Disclose Facts - Artist Made Counter Offer For $75k
There was a lot of outrage yesterday about Rockstar offering only $7.5k but what the artist did not mention was that this was for each of the artist so it totals out to $22.5k which seems like a fair deal for a radio song considering the song is pretty old and not popular. The artist is right to value his music at any price but calling out Rockstar like this is stupid.
He also stated that he made a counter offer for $75k which is nuts and is probably the price for modern popular artists. We do not know if he asked for $75k total or for each artist again which would total to a massive sum of $225k.
