games

I am pretty sure the only one I bought was the huniepop one

I think the rabi-ribi one I "bought" because it came with a different DLC pack

Anyways if you buy an ost and it is an exe you should be allowed to refund it

standard practice or not

The top steam review is explaining how to rip the ost from the exe

pretty sure they started doing this as a practice because how easy it was to just zip the files then post them online

Yeah, and it should be

even then this is an old OLD pracitce

you have to understand theyre not selling the ost for you to be able to listen to it

they dont actually care about that

they just want u to spend more money on the game

I am aware of what they want

theyre often not even flacs either lol

or loseless

but tbf even toby fox selling the undertale ost on bandcamp for like the first 3? years of the games release

only had mp3 availble for download

until people complained

mp3 is fine for 80% of people

that is less of a big deal

Most people are not audiophiles

there is a considerable audible difference between a good mp3 and a flac

I agree

I just think most people do not care

now that difference is not as big as

a youtube rip/dl

a good mp3 will always be better tahn anything that was uploaded to youtube

becuase lmao youtube butchers all highs of music + fucks the quality

You have to remember that a majority of people will be using dogshit headsets that fuck the audio anyways

you mean this piano based track isn't suppoused to sound as bassy as a car from the hood's subwoofers?

Honestly, I think it would be funnier if they started selling tiers of osts

bottom tier you get mp3s, top tier you get flacs

dnt joke about that

soundcloud artists with their heads up their asses already do that

Lossy -> Loseless -> raw fl studio file/sheets or whatever other raw shit they can give you

artists also do that now

shitty version -> full qual export -> PSD/CSP file

Thats funny, and is the logical way to fleece as much money as possible

charge standard market price for shitty mp3s, premium price for flacs

oh i didnt mention but undertales loseless ost argubly sounds worse than the original for some songs

there's some really annoying loops and parts of tracks that get muddied up by lower quality audio which is also what quality the game is in

battle against a true hero is one of those where the high quality version has the dronning in the background be a really noticable annoying beeping

I guess that's more mostly an issue with chiptune-like songs but in their lossy/more muddied format the individual chips arent as harsh and it makes listening way easier on the ears and maeks parts less noticable

Yeah that makes sense

For sure actual orchestra pieces would be more important for lossless formats

yes

because the invidiual instruments being muddied in that sort of format

just makes it sound like dogshit

its why a lot of the darksouls ost sounds fucking awful on youtube

because youtube compression + the gutting of highs + lossy already + orchestral tracks = lol

Why even bother to protect them when places like Zophar and Khinsider, and all the other similar sites have existed for decades
