Isn't it weird how a games music is considered outdated if it doesn't use an orchestral score?
Synth music style invented around 30 years ago on technology that didn't exist a generation ago: "This sounds old-fashioned, the developers need to evolve."
Orchestral music played on instruments that have existed for thousands of years, in a style that's existed for hundreds: "Finally, a modern sounding ost!"
I mean twenty years ago, the synth music they're talking about was modern. Look at the Matrix, or games like Deus Ex. Their soundtracks are full of that shit.
