What is ownership in the digital age?The big media companies want to redefine what it means to purchase content. They want everything to be a rental, even if...
Most of my music is “pirated” because you can’t find it on any streaming platform, it’s usually a YT download, often for game OSTs (often ones I own a copy of), and offline play allows stuff like Music Speed Changer to change the pitch and speed of the music!
My favorite was Total Annihilation, it had great orchestral music, and was also the first legit game i bought. Totally worth the money, and I also won’t forget the moment when I copied the CD for backup and found out it had normal audio tracks, had to immediately check it in the CD player - and it worked!
I see more often than I’d like to see retconned and greyed out releases in my playlist…
The fuck am I paying them.
God do I hate those publisher licensing agreements.

Ahh remember the good ol times when you could insert a jrpg cd into a cd player and could listen to all the music.
650MB CD media. The game itself was 40-50MB and the rest 500-600MB was the audio in wav (CD player compatible) type
I know but its still cool af
yeah I mostly commented that because the fact that the game itself is so much smaller than the audio is impressive and funny at the same time
Many games did this. Dungeon Keeper, Theme Hospital and the GTA games are the ones I can think of right now.
I used to rock out to Quake II late into the night.
