The previous intro music was epic. Made me want to make a death metal pose every morning in anticipation of battle. The new music is just… meh. Why replace epic music with average music? ---

There were likely financial reasons for this change. The old music was licensed, not owned by GoW: > [@Soundtrack Update - Patch 2.1.5](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/soundtrack-update-patch-2-1-5/14433/12): > > We never purchased the rights to distribute the old tracks of music. So while you could share it, it would be illegal. And we can’t give you permission to do so. The new music was developed in-house, which gives Infinite exclusive access and no recurring costs. ---

I play the game with the sound turned off so any money saved on music and spent on other parts of the game are a win for me (and it’s all about me, now isn’t it? ;)) ---

> [@Lyya](#): > > There were likely financial reasons for this change. The old music was licensed, not owned by GoW Actually the opposite is true. The old music was royalty-free and obtained rather cheaply (and, er, wasn’t unique to GoW)… The new music was purpose-written and will have cost somewhat more… ---

I guess the licence for commercial use would be much more expensive. ---

Even if it was royalty-free, @nimhain said that they were limited in how they could use it: > [@2.1.5 Arrives!](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/2-1-5-arrives/14356/152): > > Unfortunately we don’t have distribution right for the old music outside of the game. Regardless, the point is that this was a one-time expense for something they could own and use as they please. Perhaps they had a particular problem with the license, or maybe they had always planned on only using it temporarily and replacing it down the road. ---

> [@Spherix](#): > > maybe they had always planned on only using it temporarily and replacing it down the road This was indeed the case, and urban myth states that the use of the RF music was somewhat an extemporaneous solution due to unanticipated (and indeed unanticipatable) developments in development… (my spell-check insists that ‘unanticipatable’ is not a word, but it seriously should be) ---

But its fine with extemporaneous. Wow so is mine. Oh it just means impromptu… a word that sounds even less plausible but for that we already use it. I’m sorry what were we here for? Oh. I don’t have sound on either… save money = good? ---

So just as a side thought: any post calling for a dev to be fired, even a “ha ha but not really” one, is a reeeeeally quick way to ensure that devs roll their eyes and don’t bother reading the post. Plus, it’s just **rude** - think about walking into someone’s workplace, when they don’t even know you, pointing to them and shouting “That person should be fired because I don’t like a thing they did! Ha ha just kidding, but seriously!”. Can you even imagine how much of a jerk you’d look like? ---

@Jainus @KrudlerTheHorse While your constructions seem sufficiently cromulent to me, coining neologisms is disparate from actually possessing an extensive vocabulary. ---

I play 90% of my games with music on too. But GoW has rather annoying in game sounds and I just play my own music while farming and pvping. ---
