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.

You don't know shit about how remuneration for composers works, huh.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] Starayo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.
