Sometimes the license for the music in games expires and developers/publishers just remove it from the games.

    That, by itself, is absolutely outrageous and absurd. The game developer's failure to license the music appropriately is between them and the music copyright holder; nothing gives them the right to steal the content back from the third parties they conveyed it to in perpetuity.

    Agreed, licensing for anything like that in game should be required to be permanent. Only exception I can possibly think of is live service games where the content cycles out of availability.
