Xeshra: Nah, buying the OST bundled with the game will make it cheaper. May not look like a lot but when i hear that a solid bunch of gamers will have to make every penny count, it may make sense. I assume the FLAC may become fixed at some point. Perhaps it is even GOGs failure because they had to "turn it" into a installer and the issue was probably happening there. The FLAC still works but it is partially corrupt... can cause failures and some lack on descriptions.
Not that i truly can understand the OST-only mentality, because the music actually has been "attached" to the game and the true power of the music is when it is being "used" along with the game. Thats so special about "game music" it is not just music, it is a "construct of art", it can be heard, seen and even felt. It is interactive, able to react to the players actions or decisions.
I still buy music if available but rather for "collection" purpose and checking it out a little (kinda like being playful without actually playing it). However, without the game it makes little sense to me, but that is just me.
For OST-only, the ides is this:
* I don't have plans to play Silksong any time soon, as I have other games I'm wanting to play, and Silksong, I believe, retains the one thing I hated about the original
* I really do like the Hollow Knight OST, and I've heard the Silksong one is also good
