mindless high-pixellated bobbling for immense amounts of story data
again. It almost seems like 1985.

On the other side...
some of my favorite games are continually having to argue "we have deep
content and years of play" against complaints of "why would I pay for a
game with such shitty graphics and almost no music?"

If it is Heroes of Might and Magic II with opera, or maybe also
Starcraft I, with penetrating complex music, I will play the music.
Otherwise, I have 1500 CDs on quick rotation that I can easily listen to
instead of a game.
If you can, get a hold of a copy of Robot Odyssey from the 80s. It was
an educational game (which definitely indicates high quantity of
material) with competitive graphics. I believe it did well. What
screwed them was promising Robot Odyssey II before it was finished and
they could not achieve the same quality to followup in the difficult
market for what they had promised. As a rule of thumb, let's just say a
sequel is eight times as complex.

leave it there forever.
I think the only game that ever got music allowed was GTA:SA with the
car radio music, for everything else, there's winamp playing MY choice
of music - which never includes anything "urban" or nu-metal or other
complete audio garbage that always gets included in games because it's
popular with the demographic of the game.

Some games have some very iconic music that's actually pretty good and

Funnily enough Diablo is one of the ones I thought of.
I first tried a warez version which had no music, then bought the game
so I would have the music and became totally sick of it within a day or
two and played mp3s in the background instead.
This was a hassle under win95 since multiple sources couldn't share the
same sound card, so I actually had 2 soundblaster equivalents in the
same machine to pull off music and gaming at the same time.
One an actual SB and one an 8bit clone card.
