Shocking… A company mistreats the people purchasing their game like crap with a micro transaction for “better audio quality”. I really hope this bites them in the ass.
As an audiophile myself, I would not buy this. What the hell does head shape or ears have to do with it? I have my perfect home audio setup set up the exact way I like it. Everyone else can polish a game with good audio, I’m not paying extra for one game to have what everyone else does out of the box. If I’m spending more on audio quality, I’m buying hardware, not some weird dlc
If this was like a Dolby codec thing where it was like “hey we have to pay for the license but not everyone needs it” then fine that makes sense, the license costs money but 99% of players won’t care. But it doesn’t sound like that’s what’s is happening

This I could understand as well, but they’re just testing the waters and this is, Oblivion: Horse Armor DLC, again.
Even funnier, it seems my remarks pissed off a few of their marketing shills.
yeah the only thing I could possibly compare it to is how Windows 10/11 did not include the HEVC codec in Windows and instead you had to pay $3 or something for a copy of the license on their store to play HEVC on Windows. To me, that made sense. <5% of users would ever use HEVC directly on their machine - why include a mandatory license across all versions of windows out of the box? Atmos too is like that I believe.
This is just some weird gimmick. Measuring my head? For what? Makes no sense.
