Bandcamp is ramping up for its special "Bandcamp Friday". For the uninitiated, that means the storefront temporarily waives its commission on all sales. In other words, this is the very best way to support the artists you care about. Yes, in case you missed the memo, nobody makes actual money out of streaming (apart from, say, Drake, Taylor Swift, and the like)—let alone video game music composers.
That's why Bandcamp Fridays are extra important. For some, a single sale during the event can amount to a whole year's worth of streaming royalties! If you care about those who compose the music of the worlds you spend countless hours in, consider treating yourself to the soundtrack. Plus, you get to actually own the music; how neat is that?
Anyway, let's get into it. Here are the very best video game music albums I definitely recommend adding to your cart today. It goes without saying that my previous recommendations still stand, but for clarity's sake, only recent releases will be highlighted in this particular article.
