Can you enjoy Undertale's soundtrack knowing most of its melodies were "stolen"?

Tranny game

If I were to use AI to compose my video-game soundtracks, is it considered "theft"?

>HURR TOBY JUST REMIXES THE SAME MELODY OVER AND OVER
>HURRR ALL OF THE SONGS ARE STOLEN FROM DOZENS OF SOURCES
/v/ can't even be consistent with its shitposting

>>713863334 (OP)
I barely enjoy the game. its a piss easy bullet hell with tumblr writing.
and the only way to get a real challenge is to do a forced grind that intentionally makes the game less fun

>>713863334 (OP)
Stealing shit is based. My greater issue is that a lot of the melodies are recycled for leitmotifs. The OST is still fantastic but I am slightly critical of how often you end up hearing the same songs remixed and rearranged.

deltatroon ruined what was enjoyable of undertale. but since everything was stolen i can just go listen to the originals and have nothing to do with this jew.

>stolen
qrd?

plagiarism is necessary to create new art. plus nearly all of those "stolen" melodies were taken from other places. Koji Kondo has numerous examples of "stolen" music yet no one gives a fuck about that

Yeah. I don't give a fuck about the source, just like I don't give a fuck about gamedev, game developers, behind the scenes drama, dev personal views, or any such bullshit like that.

You make a song I like I will listen to it. Plain and simple.

It is theft, just like the images it creates, and really anything else it does.

Remember when everyone hated the tera raid theme calling it obnoxious earrape but when it was revealed to be by him people suddenly stopped. And when they said but muh area zero tho it turned out he was handheld by a veteran for that one.

>>713863334 (OP)
yeah, i wouldn't have listened to the source tracks anyways

They werent

>LOOK AT THE FIFTY THINGS HE STOLE 1 SECOND FROM
this cant be easier than just composing the song

>taking inspiration is stealing

there's 4 notes in a bar
how many fucking possible combinations of those 4 notes sound good?

the top 40 is still just the 4 chord progression, go fuck yourself you faux intellectual. all art is theft.

Stop stealing.

>>713867890
whose words are those, thief?

>>713869046
>b-but
Stop.

>>713863334 (OP)
Given how much heavy lifting those quotation marks are doing, yes.

>>713869086
still haven't seen a single original word or thought
guess you're just gonna keep plagiarizing

The people accusing Toby Fox of plagiarism aren’t making any serious point. They’re not interested in actual analysis. They’re just bitter nobodies reacting to someone who made something they couldn’t. He put out a weird little game full of sincerity and strangeness, and instead of ignoring it like normal people, they obsess over it and try to drag it down.
This is classic slave morality, the kind Nietzsche spelled out clearly. They don’t create anything of value themselves. They don’t have the strength to act or affirm, so they moralize and condemn. Instead of aspiring, they spite. Toby succeeds, and their only move is to call him a fraud or a thief, hoping it’ll even the playing field.
They cant outdo him creatively (obviously), so they retreat into resentment. They reframe his success as some kind of wrongdoing. The same way the weak, in Nietzsche’s terms, called the strong “evil” just to feel righteous in their weakness. That’s the whole game here, reaction disguised as principle.
Toby didn’t steal. He synthesized. He referenced, built, mutated. That’s what actual art looks like. The people crying “plagiarism” wouldn’t recognize originality if it slapped them in the face, because they’ve never touched it themselves. They’re scavengers playing moral police because that’s the only power they know.

anon learns what inspiration is

>there aren't gays in Undertale
you don't remember the game that well huh?

>>713869307
you can kill all the gay characters and that's based
i have done 2 runs where i only killed lgbt characters

>>713863334 (OP)
Yes, all music steals from somewhere anyway. And the music is the only good part about this game.
