Annapurna Interactive debunks Mixtape delisting rumor

Publisher Annapurna Interactive has stated that Mixtape will not be delisted due to music licenses expiring. The clarification addresses recent online speculation about the game's future availability. Creative director Johnny Galvatron confirmed that extra steps were taken to secure the licenses permanently.

Annapurna Interactive moved quickly to dismiss claims that Mixtape faced removal from sale. In comments to Kotaku, creative director Johnny Galvatron noted that the developers paid additional fees to maintain the music licenses indefinitely. This approach differs from past cases involving licensed tracks in games like Guitar Hero, where rights issues led to delistings or changes.
