Once again, musicians are getting the short end of the stick—this time in gaming. 😢 Rockstar Games, the creator of Grand Theft Auto V (a game that’s raked in over $8.5 BILLION), has recently been called out for lowballing artists on music payments for their upcoming GTA 6 release. Martyn Ware of Heaven 17, who wrote the iconic '80s hit 'Temptation', shared that Rockstar offered him just £5,700 to use the track in the game... This included a buyout for any future royalties, FOREVER. 😳 Considering the new game is expected to surpass the former game in $8.6 billion in revenue, this is more than just unfair—it's disrespectful. Yes, the exposure could lead to more streams, but let’s not forget that artists on platforms like Spotify only generally make about £760 per million streams—a small return. Martyn declined their offer, and Rockstar didn’t accept his counter-offer. This raises a huge question: When will we start valuing artists fairly for their contributions to entertainment? It’s time for change. What are your thoughts on this? Should artists accept the trade-off for exposure, or should they stand their ground for fair compensation?

Promoting #music through #gaming is much more than an experimental trend. Video games are facilitating the resurgence of older songs (and premiering newer ones) by introducing them to new and young #audiences. Nate Nanzer of Epic Games says, “When we bring artists into Fortnite, we see an effect outside of Fortnite,” supporting the fact that some #songs and #artists actually re-enter streaming services top charts after being heard in video games. The rise of #musicstreaming #platforms has inundated the market with new #content daily, so artists are continuing to turn to games as a strategic focus due to intensified competition in the industry.

New Post: Will Nightingale come to Xbox or Xbox Game Pass? - https://lnkd.in/gwS_tz5D - Is Nightingale coming to Xbox or Xbox Game Pass? The game has had a rocky, but well-received initial launch on PC, and console players, especially those on Xbox are looking to find out if Inflexion has any plans to bring the survival game to other platforms. READ MORE: ‘Nightingale’ highly requested third-person mode is a big win for fans Below, you can find out what the studio itself has said about a console release. We also have details on if the game could ever show up on Xbox Game Pass, down the line. Will ‘Nightingale’ come to Xbox? As of launch, Nightingale is not planned to come to Xbox, with Inflexion stating in the game’s FAQ that they are only targeting PCs at the moment. This means that we are unlikely to see the early access version of the game hit consoles. The game isn’t even Steam Deck compatible yet. As always, there is a chance we could see the game hit consoles, especially when it comes time for it to release fully into 1.0. We will keep this section updated as, and when we hear more. Is ‘Nightingale’ coming to Xbox Game Pass? Currently, Nightingale is not coming to Xbox Game Pass as the game is not available on Xbox or the Microsoft Store on PC. This means there is no way for you to play the game on either of the places where Game Pass is available. There is a chance that the game could come to PC Game Pass if it ever is released on the Microsoft Store. However, that doesn’t seem likely anytime soon as the developers focus on the game’s early access launch and developing the survival game further before it fully releases. Some of those improvements include a Nightingale offline mode, as the game is currently online only. This comes after Inflexion says it “misjudged what some of you were looking for in your experience. We are now prioritizing and developing an offline mode that we plan to release as soon as feasible”.

New Post: Does ‘Rise of the Ronin’ have co-op? - https://lnkd.in/gsqCe4zf - Team Ninja‘s latest action game has arrived, Rise of the Ronin, and if you are a fan of their previous titles you may be keen to understand if the longstanding co-op functionality and features in their games are back. READ MORE: Is ‘Rise of the Ronin’ a soulslike? After spending some time with the game over recent weeks we have a full breakdown of how you can play the action RPG, whether you can invite your friends along, and if there is competitive multiplayer too. Does Rise of the Ronin have co-op? Rise of the Ronin does have co-op multiplayer for up to four players, which can be accessed from the Longhouse in Miyozaki and later areas. This spot is unlocked a good way through the main story so you will need to play a decent chunk of the game to invite your friends. From there you can choose a multiplayer mission and team up to take on the objectives and tackle the bosses found in the many locations the game’s story takes you to. Rise Of The Ronin. Credit: Team Ninja. Difficulty does scale in the game, so if you or your friend are of a high level then one of you will be in for a much harder combat challenge, especially if your gear isn’t up to snuff. Does Rise of the Ronin have PvP? Rise of the Ronin does not have any PvP modes. It is purely a PvE experience, so don’t expect to be able to challenge your friends or random players to a duel. The feature may get added to the game down the line, however most of Team Ninja’s games in recent years haven’t had any kind of competitive multiplayer. If the co-op has caught your eye, why not take a read through our full thoughts on Rise of the Ronin in our Rise of the Ronin review for PS5?
