    I wish games just wouldn’t license music, or would attain a perpetual license that allows the work to remain whole and as intended. Can you imagine if your movie collection just auto-updated to change the soundtrack or add some new scenes in now and again? It’s fucking stupid what people put up with in games and software.

      Remember when games came on physically media and they couldn’t pull this crap even if they wanted to

      Already happens on streaming, at least with TV. Watched a few episodes of House a while back and they changed the great Massive Attack theme to some generic sound-alike. Honestly put me off a rewatch more than some of the other parts of the show that didn’t age well.

        It’s actually a bit hit or miss, at least on Prime Video. Most episodes still have the Massive Attack Theme, but a few here and there (Mostly in S2 iirc) have the generic theme.

    Never heard of the guy. Was he the one that hid from the light and preferred the dark?

    Buy the gog version and make a backup of the offline installer version. Turn off automatic updates if you have installed it via one of the game manager apps.
