I’m Very Sad, and Nobody Seems to be Discussing This


Recommended Posts

Here’s the thing. Audiophiles, I’m sure you’re with me on this one. The Don’t Starve OST has not been updated on music streaming services since–oh wait, that’s right. *checks phone* basically never. Now, I don’t know why this is, and there may be a valid reason. I’m a huge fan of Klei, and I’m not hatin’ on ‘em! :wilson_flower:

However. I really want the OST on Spotify. Like, as in, Hamlet, RoG, SW, DST, ALL OF IT!!! (even the stuff that fell a bit flat for me. It still counts.)

Please, guys. Somehow. Ask for help from the community, or something. We’ll GLADLY help.

 

Okay, that’s enough words. Please don’t hate on me for using all of the formatting tools available to me.

This has been brought up several times, and the last time I remember getting a response, it was basically: "it's on our to do list, but we don't have the resources right now". But that has been a few years ago already. Maybe we can get an update on that, or if a dev sees this, mention it in the roadmap.

Youtube works.

I know... I just would really like to be able to mix DST and other games’ OSTs in a playlist. My “Soundtracks” playlist on Spotify is currently at 195 songs, from games like Terraria, Subnautica, Moonlighter, Death’s Door, (of course Don’t Starve) and tons more.

The Steam Store would be the best way to release the soundtrack if you ask me. I got the HL2/episodes/Alyx OSTs that way and I can listen to them either through Steam or through the files, since it lets me just outright download them, which means I could transfer it to my phone or other devices if I so desired. 

This would also be a way for Klei to make more money. Just charge $10 for each game's OST and bam, that's $20 per audiophile.

Failing that, there's always downloading tracks off of YouTube through a certain third party app.

YouTube is a TERRIBLE platform for listening to music, you get constant ads, can't play the song on the background without premium on mobile and usually the music is uploaded by someone who's not affiliated with the original artist which means we get a compressed sound instead of the raw one. I'd much rather pay for Spotify subscription

Thank you. This. This right here is my problem exactly.

I know YouTube sucks and I agree that the sound quality is often compressed on fan uploads, but it isn't always, and ad blockers do work (despite YouTube's best attempts to prevent them from working). 

What do you think about the Steam store for the DS/T OST? That'd be a subscription-free way to listen to it, just a one-time payment and it's yours forever. I find that more than preferable.

I'd dig a Steam store release because you can just get the MP3s files and just put into my playlist directly (and i'm pretty sure most streaming services allows you to listen your own music inside the app). Though i have to be honest, if there's a soundtrack available both on streaming and steam store i'd go with streaming, since i myself listen to ALOT of music and buying each album or soundtrack i ever listen seperatly instead of just streaming it is not really the smartest option, there were some cases where i really liked a specific album and bought the official CD and got the raw MP3s from it. I'd say a steam release is a better option for the casual listener that doesn't want to pay a subscription service and i 100% think they should release the soundtrack on streaming services too.
