Fuck that. Why is that acceptable? A soundtrack is a basic part of a game. You're so used to paying for extra shit that you forgot that options like those are part of the game that you paid for from non bullshit companies.

They get paid for their work, obviously, but often a significant portion of their ongoing pay is based on soundtrack sales, whether physical or digital.

For one example, you can look into how Id screwed over Mick Gordon with the doom eternal OST, but it's a long and frustrating read.
