Soo... Anyone notice the soundtracks are more expensive than the game?

Yeah so anyone else notice the soundtracks are more expensive than the games?

Like seriously they actually are, both of them (during the sale),

How is that supposed to work?

Is it some weird cheesy marketing gimmick?

On top of that someone noticed and posted that the files are packaged as mp3 (having spent a lot of time recently backing up my cd's I'm one of those people that do notice a difference),

I mean, the sale would be a great price if it didn't have the inflated 10 bucks per soundtrack price addition..

(that's an extra 20 bucks, during the sale, for the soundtracks alone, added to the bundle )

[Cheeseness]

Can't speak to the soundtrack pricing (beyond the difference being the result of the soundtrack being 10% off while the game is 75% off), but the soundtrack has both FLAC and MP3 files in it.

[Celendrin]

Indeed,

but that's the million dollar question, why?

lol..

(is the game 75% off but the soundtrack only 10%, thought at first it might be some royalty thing but the music is still in the game itself right, so the composer would still be getting his royalties either way.. so very interesting isn't it, lol)

[Cheeseness]

That's not a question I can give an answer for (not hard to speculate that developers might have different obligations to composers for soundtrack sales in some cases though), but it looks a lot more like a $9.99 question than a million dollar question.

If you don't want the soundtrack, you can get the soundtrack-less bundle that's less than the individual discounts on the game and DLC. If you do want the soundtrack, it and the other components are still less more than their individual discounts in the bundles that include it. An option for everyone ^_^

[Celendrin]

Actually that's a good point I thought you had to buy them to get the package,

you're stuck in the big bundle with them but in the little ones you're not, fair enough.

Keep in mind the music (in games) is the best part so I STILL WANT TO COMPLAIN !!111 (lol)

but all in all you're right you're not forced into it,

so, like the Illuminati say, "It's all about Choice!"

thanks (I'll grab one now)

[Cheeseness]

There should be three bundles shown on the store page. I think I can link to them here if that's helpful!

HoF2 + DLC
HoF2 + DLC + Soundtrack
HoF1 + HoF2 + DLC + Soundtrack

[Celendrin]

Yeah I'm good thanks, (I bought the first dlc),

thread is good to point this out to others who might be put off by the soundtrack bundle prices so they know the first Hand of Fate is available without the soundtrack too

(if you start off by looking at Hand of Fate 2 you wouldn't know you could get the first bundle for a lot cheaper),

cool thanks again

[Cheeseness]

Enjoy!
