    Tldr

    The offer, which Ware describes as for “a buyout of any future royalties from the game”, was allegedly for $7500

      In another post it was said that $7500 per member was offered, totaling to $22500.

      Which is still not a lot for giving up all future royalties, but their counter offer of 10x that ($225’000 in total) is a little much in my opinion as well.

      But I’m still glad they spoke out, this way a more open discussion can happen about this topic.

        For selling out all future royalties for a game in as huge and popular a franchise as GTA? Yeah, i think that counter offer is pretty fair actually
