When Grand Theft Auto: Vice City disappeared from Steamās marketplace a few days ago, some suspected it was because of the gameās upcoming release for iOS devices. Instead, what appears to be a lapsed license for one of the songs appearing in the game has forced the takedown, until the matter is resolved.
Gaming Blend reports that the song in question is appropriately enough, āWanna Be Startinā Somethingā by Michael Jackson, to which Sony Music Entertainment owns the rights. Rockstar Games, in a post on Steamās North American forums, didnāt specify the song but did say music licensing was involved and āweāll make it available again as soon as possible.ā
Those who bought Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for PC via Steam may still redownload and install the game.
