I'm not upset at that. I'm fond of the tune that's used in the iOS version of Tsuro - I even downloaded it to my phone and listen to it as a meditation track. I really think if the downside is, "it's so good you have to use the newest or oldest stuff because everyone else is using it", that's no reason to turn your nose up. I mean, hoe many games used the same door opening sound as Doom?
I suggest you focus on making your game first using PD or RF music. Then after you've got people playing it, do a music update only when you have profits. I'd suggest the same thing in graphic assets, too. PD/CC0/RF first. Graphics might be nice, but good gameplay wins every time.
Those who mattered never really stopped. The problem is, how much can you talk about? They're owned opposition by Slopabet/Gooslop. The new mascot is a waste of money and time.
Everything but the browser needs to be jettisoned at this point. It needs to go back to being a 100% standards-compliant browser, ejecting all Gooslop promoted DRM and everything not independently entered by the W3C into the standards. It needs to be a knife at the throat of Gooslop, Micro$lop, Slopazon, Cloudfront, and the rest of the corporations which continue to take power away from the people online.
It's cheap "labor" that pushes KPIs and looks impressive to investors. It's got the same upsides as slavery (the model most of those bastards want to go back to), without the costs being obvious, or the labor itself being able to rebel - instead, the disenfranchised and the 'little people' are the only ones left to fight, and we don't have enough money or energy to do so. Until there are riots in the streets, the AI-loving klepto-pedo-fascists win.
Well, it's still something I care about. It's one of the reasons I don't go into the city.
