If you have the game on GOG, I would suggest backing this up before September 10, 2024
Sucks and I definitely remember (15-ish years ago?) thinking that was such a perfect fit for one of my all time favorite vibes games (with okay-good gameplay). But I also trust Remedy to have replaced it with a solid song.
Which is the best case scenario when it isn’t a music group that genuinely loves games (shout out to Poets of the Fall/Old Gods of Asgard). As opposed to whatever nonsense happens with tv shows like Scrubs.
But I also trust Remedy to have replaced it with a solid song.
I wonder if they’ll replace it with an original song, like the music they did for Alan Wake 2. Either way, if playing Remedy games over the years has taught me anything, it’s that Sam Lake (or his team, at least), has an excellent taste in music.
Another TV show that was famous for its amazing soundtrack that had subsequently been changed and butchered is Skins.
Too bad, it was such a good fit.
That copyright can be inherited is one of the atrocious fuckups we let happen.
Yet another reason that copyright really needs to be revamped hardcore. You should not be able to retroactively revoke a license in that way and the entire idea of yeah I license you to be able to use this for x amount of years is ridiculous to me either you can use the Media or you can’t.
