Overpriced
I love game soundtracks more than most people. I have purchased several hundred games exclusively for their soundtracks, with no interest in the game at all. Having said that, at $19.99, this soundtrack is ridiculously overpriced, regardless of the length or number of tracks. Keep in mind that in order to buy this soundtrack for $19.99, you first have to buy the game for $24.99, and since the game most likely contains most, if not all, of the tracks from this soundtrack DLC, you have already paid a licensing fee for the music as a component of the game. Soundtrack DLCs are about the convenience of being able to play the music on-demand and outside of the game, so charging this insane $20 price for the soundtrack is beyond absurd and beyond greedy and should not be rewarded or tolerated. I am all for supporting the composers and everyone else involved in the creation and recording of the music, but charging this much when you also have to buy the game is unacceptable. In short, $20 should probably be the price for the soundtrack (if the tracks are of decent length and not just one to two minutes each) when purchased as a standalone product, not when purchased as an add-on for the separately-purchased game.
Is this helpful to you?
