A game can be updated after a music license expires AND after the game is no longer being sold. The update should not be forced to include music removal if the update happens after the expiry date of the music license, but only if the game is no longer for sale.
Ok, so this is literally just your own wishful thinking.
So, based on what you are wanting, the anti-SKG lawyers have a REALLY good point:
A game goes offline officially and private servers or something fan-made pops up. The devs STILL have to pay for the music licensing for all time now. Thankfully, that’s not how any of this works or will work. That’s crazy stupid.
What are you talking about? Is this a genuine “I love pancakes.” “Oh so you hate bicycles?” moment, or is this on purpose?
If the music license expires, the game cannot be sold with the music still in it. If the developers or publisher wants to keep selling the game, they need to either remove the music or renew the license.
If the developers decide to not sell the game anymore, they should still be allowed to update the game without having to remove the music. The game is no longer for sale, the people that already bought the game can keep the game that they bought, with the music they bought the game with. Fixing a security issue or a bug in the game should not come at the expense of removing licensed music just because the update is delivered after the music license has expired, as long as the game is no longer for sale.
Private servers and fan-made updates never even enter the equation.
Yeah, that’s not how any of this works. I apologize for the caps, but just so I can make this clear for you:
YOU DIDN’T BUY THE MUSIC
The devs/publisher licensed the use of certain music in their games for a specific duration. I feel like I’m just having to tell you this again and again. Your idea of “well, they could have just…”, no. It has nothing to do with bugfixes or security issues. It has to do with the license expiring. If they don’t have a valid license to the music it must be removed (ex. GTA4).

AGAIN, THIS IS NOT A THING. Please keep comments based in reality and not your “perfect world” thoughts on what reality should be. Reality.
I thought it was on purpose but now I think you might just genuinely not have read my comments, or wildly misunderstood them.
I will not be continuing this conversation with you, I have not the time nor desire. Feel free to double check my comments, or don’t. I don’t care to correct you again nor do I care to respond anymore. I have made my suggestion abundantly clear.
Absolutely incredible. Well done. Truly, you leave me utterly speechless.
Yeah, I think it’s best if you stop talking too. I seriously just do not have the time to correct you and then read through your comments where you say the same misguided shit again. Unfortunately, you are too stupid to understand how you are wrong. This is something that it is not my job to correct.
