The game would have to transfer the music files to the other connected players for them to be able to hear it too, which is obviously an issue since that's copyrighted content that isn't owned by the player or developer.

The alternative would be to make it so people can only hear music from their own user music folder (similar to what Rockstar does with their Grand Theft Auto PC ports), which would be cool but not as cool as if everyone can listen to the same music together. Also I'm making some assumptions here, but my guess is there are a couple technical/design conflicts this would introduce that might actually require the entire system to be rewritten, it's possible that this is actually a lot more work than it might seem. Only the devs would know that for sure though.

yeah i guess you're right. Blasting SLAYER over the intercomm at unsuspecting lobby players might be a bit much anyway
