What happened to the soundtrack on Spotify and YouTube Music?

[DjBasA]

All of the tracks are greyed out and unplayable on both platforms now.
They have been for a few days now.

Hey there DjBasA - so the soundtracks originally went out once the distro platform had finished doing its thing. However the manner in which the music had actually been categorised was incorrect - and it had been placed in one giant playlist rather than the Side A / B Split.

It's a minor thing, but to keep parity across how the soundtrack is bought / played on other platforms - we the devs decided to pull it down, and ask the distro to re-release it with the correct tagging and split between ambient level music and 'music tracks'.

The new distro is in the pipeline, and we hope it'll be out in the wild soon - we'll make a lot of noise and tell everyone when it is!

Understandable.
I was alright with it as the tracks were still in the same order as they are on the soundtrack thats sold on Steam.

I thought that something serious was going on like copyright issues that caused the soundtrack to get taken down on streaming services.

(this happened a while ago with the Murder Drones soundtrack from Glitch Productions, which was a false claim, only for the composer of the soundtrack to find them re-uploaded under different artist names with even different titles. thankfully he got it all sorted together with Glitch and made sure it won't happen again)

So i'm happy it wasn't that.
