That's question to the music authors. They probably decided to sell the licensing rights to an "evil" media company.

Here I stand on "right to burn" author's side. They can do whatever they want with their music, like putting a trillion dollar price on it, or selling it to an evil publisher. It's authors's nonprescribable right. If you don't like it -- feel free to write your own music.

That game makers should have probably make a modification to the game to replace original music with something else.

I agree with you on the creators' rights thing.

It seems unwise of the game maker to purchase a music license that expires. Though, I suspect it was a calculated risk, and that they believed potential sales this late after release weren't worth paying more for. Alan Wake was released seven years ago.
