Seriously. If I bought GTA before those licenses expired, my download should always have them, even if newer ones do not (which, to be clear, still sucks that that’s acceptable).

Next: make it so games can’t suddenly lose their music license. This is so incredible annoying. I know it’s depending on what the publishers negotiated, but it shouldn’t be possible to suddenly patch out soundtracks because of a license expire.

require games to buy perpetual licenses for the music?

Other way around. Require sales of licenses to games to be perpetual. The way you phrased it means that the license holders can charge way more.

it’s a distinction without a difference.
