lan Wake (2010) will receive an update on September 10th at 11am UTC. This update removes the song Space Oddity from the game due to changes in licensing, and replaces it with a new original song... (x.com)

I wish games just wouldn't license music, or would attain a perpetual license that allows the work to remain whole and as intended. Can you imagine if your movie collection just auto-updated to change the soundtrack or add some new scenes in now and again? It's fucking stupid what people put up with in games and software.

Remember when games came on physically media and they couldn't pull this crap even if they wanted to

This is one of many reasons why I've been trying to buy physical PC games lately.

I found a boxed copy of the GTA Trilogy recently. It was for Mac, and had probably been sitting on a shelf in some office supply store for 15 years. I don't even have a Mac, but I bought it since I figured that, not only would it be the original, non-remade version, but it should (hopefully) have the original music as well.

I haven't opened it yet. I'll probably post a thread here when I do. Maybe it'll run in a virtual machine.

George Lucas:

That one side eye meme

Already happens on streaming, at least with TV. Watched a few episodes of House a while back and they changed the great Massive Attack theme to some generic sound-alike. Honestly put me off a rewatch more than some of the other parts of the show that didn't age well.

It's actually a bit hit or miss, at least on Prime Video. Most episodes still have the Massive Attack Theme, but a few here and there (Mostly in S2 iirc) have the generic theme.
