10 Video Games That Removed Important Features AFTER RELEASE

10. 17 Songs - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

The Grand Theft Auto franchise is known for, among many other things, its fantastic soundtracks comprised of existing popular music, with GTA: San Andreas arguably touting one of the series' finest to date.

With a soundtrack topped by the likes of Cypress Hill, N.W.A., Rage Against the Machine, 2Pac, Public Enemy, Faith No More, James Brown, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and many more, there was basically something for everyone.

That was, until the PC version of San Andreas was updated on its 10th anniversary, which unceremoniously removed 17 songs from the game's library, including Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name" and N.W.A.'s "Express Yourself" - two iconic tracks San Andreas is most closely associated with.

And to rub salt in the wound, existing saves wouldn't work on this updated version of the game either.

It appears that the songs were removed by Rockstar due to expired licensing agreements, and such is the double-edged sword of every developer's ability to update games whenever they want.
