Every other Atlus game includes like a 5-7 song sampler of a game with three dozen or more tracks, and then they never offer the soundtrack for purchase legally anywhere in the US, except maybe iTunes.
Now SEGA is trying to incentivize Bayonetta PC buyers with a 5-song soundtrack. Are you kidding me? That's not "deluxe", that's a pittance. The game is old enough, at least give me the option to buy the whole thing digitally with the game.
Reminds me of the situation with Xenoblade Chronicles X, in which special edition purchasers got to listen to part of the soundtrack off of an encrypted USB drive and a proprietary PC based program, all because they chose an expensive composer whose label had ridiculous stipulations.
Meanwhile, you have WayForward (Western publisher, for comparison) bundling the whole soundtrack to one of the newer Shantae games in its physical release. At least SNK bundled the whole KOF14 soundtrack with one of the special editions.
What's up with this phenomenon?
