GOG's system is set up to deny purchase of soundtracks unless the game is also purchased. Why? And not just music, sometimes the accompanying artwork is interesting but cannot be bought without also buying the game.
There have been games that I liked the music on the youtube previews and wanted it. When I tried to select and purchase only the soundtrack, that wasn't allowed. It was "all or nothing", so GOG gets nothing.
I am not nor will I ever buy the games in question, so GOG is never going to get that money. And by forcibly bundling game purchases with sountracks, they're not getting that money, either.
Sell the music (or art) separately, and I'd be willing to pay for it.
I searched already before posting ("buy soundtrack", "soundtrack" "sale soundtrack", "purchase soundtrack", etc.) and no results came up. If there were a previous topic/thread about this, I couldn't find it.
