Sometimes I forget they even allow this. Finish the fucking thing before adding extra shit. How can an unfinished thing even have extra shit?

It's like buying a tiara for your fetus, before you even buy a crib.
ALSO, MICROTRANSACTIONS = DLC.
Fuck that. Why is that acceptable? A soundtrack is a basic part of a game. You're so used to paying for extra shit that you forgot that options like those are part of the game that you paid for from non bullshit companies.
OST in a straight audio format has never been part of buying the game unless you ripped the files yourself. Be more entitled.
Lol, whatever. Keep paying for stupid shit I guess. The studios definitely know their market.
I don’t pay for it, my man. If anyone making video game music was talented they’d be making actual music.
Define "actual music". Does it become real music when it's part of a movie sound track? Or when it's played on pop radio stations? When it gets performed by middle schoolers in band classes? When the London Philharmonic performs it? When it reaches Billboard 100? When the artist wins a grammy? Do you need to be in ASCAP to make music? I'm a little confused as to what would differentiate music made for digital entertainment from any other music.
dang, honestly one of the worst takes I've seen this year
Right? There are so many OST for games that are absolutely amazing. It's "real" music whatever that was supposed to mean.
exactly. The first thing that came to my mind was Hollow Knight OST, if it's not "real" then I guess I must've imagined how much it slaps
You're just dead wrong for that. You can't be serious?
You don't know shit about how remuneration for composers works, huh.
Are you trying to imply that the only way a game music composer can make money is if the game studio sells you their music as dlc? So all the games without dlc soundtracks just got their music off some hobo in an alley and nobody got paid?
🤡
I'm not a programmer or a gamer (or a musician), just curious. What does make it different?
They get paid for their work, obviously, but often a significant portion of their ongoing pay is based on soundtrack sales, whether physical or digital.
For one example, you can look into how Id screwed over Mick Gordon with the doom eternal OST, but it's a long and frustrating read.
