I feel like we've already had this discussion back when the FF6 Kickstarter was in full swing...
You know, the whole "OCR is a free site why should they ask for money for things" discussion.
The key differences this time, of course, are that this album was Capcom's idea and selling albums individually is different from trying to get a Kickstarter funded, but the principle remains. There's nothing inherently wrong with artists and the site getting compensated for their work, nor is there something wrong with a game company contracting OCR for songs (it already happened with Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD ReMix). That's just the company realizing the talent present on the site and giving props in a more meaningful way than
If you don't want to buy the album, that's fine. That's your decision, your choice. No one here will force you nor strongarm you into buying the album.
However, there is also nothing inherently wrong with having a fully licensed commercial album from the site either. It isn't a matter of selling out nor of betraying its core values, nothing sinister at all. It's just an album that just so happens to be $10 and from OCR.
At least that's how I see it.
