Its 10 goddamn years of this shit. I don't think they'll be stopping anytime soon. Especially when the average joe's standards for videogames are at rock bottom.
Mixtape - GOTY? IGN agrees!

What even is in their soundtrack? Nirvana? Offspring? Papa Roach? Chumbawumba?

15. Early signs were in 2008, Anita got astroturfed in 2012.
It's already collapsing. Concord, Highguard, Marathon. Unless your standing is complete tradcuck take over, which isn't going to happen.
They're not buying in droves. The "modern audience" keeps not materialising.
People easily forget how long ago this shit started in gaming.
Unfortunately, for Annapurna Interactive it'll keep going so long as the banks are afraid of losing Daddy's business.

What a boring ass list. The only one I recognize a bit is Smashing Pumpkins. Dear God I dread the next nostagiaslop that tries to pretend they're late 1990s-2000s era.

Who the fuck makes a game about a 90's mixtape without "Smells like Teen Spirit"?

Who the fuck makes a game about a 90's mixtape without;
Barbie Girl - Aqua
Spice Girls/Backstreet boys
Witch Doctor - Cartoons
Baby one more time - Britney Spears
Wonderwall - Oasis
Gangsta's Paradise - Coolio
Like seriously, if I am making a game based in the 90s I am throwing one of those in there just for the fact they were fucking everywhere.

Even moreso, a game likely set in Oregon, the state right next to where Nirvana got started in Seattle... If the game was an accurate interpretation of west coast 90s teens, half the playlist would be Nirvana because they would have been worshipping them even 4/5 years after Kobain's death. But Nirvana licensing is expensive - even for a jewish nepo baby.
People who got some money to license music, but not enough to license the shit that was actually listened to. I imagine That's Good probably costs less than Whip It.
Yes and they probably cost more. But also consider that the retards who made this game didn't actually grow up in the US in the 90s, some of them having not grown up in the 90s at all other than having been toddlers. This kind of shit is why the whole "muh nostalgia" thing is so fucking absurd and it's really anemoia, people deluding themselves into thinking they're nostalgic for something that wasn't actually how it was or they weren't even engaging with anything from that period.

1. I doubt money enters the equation here, let's be real, how many 90s songs are being used now? Mostly on backwater radio stations let's be real (Especially the ones I mentioned), I'd say Barbie Girl might be more expensive due to the movie which was released but not by the amount which would make this game infeasible.
2. So, funnily enough I was talking to my mother about this, bringing up about the 90s thing and I remember saying "I haven't seen the list of songs, but I guarentee there's no Backstreet boys, Spice Girls or Oasis which were definitely some of the most iconic 90s hits" and we spent like 20 minutes sharing what we miss from the 90s, to be clear I was born in the early 90s so I was a kid and I have a more rock-solid memory of what it was like (Albeit, in britbong land).
Hell we were swapping "What things we miss" and I said "Oh definitely how everything in my bedroom was inflatable" and that's not an exaggeration, the 90s had a fascination (at least here) with 'blow up furniture', I had an inflatable sofa, an inflatable bin, my sister owned an inflatable coat and inflatable bag.. Shit was fucking wild.

Nothing sounds tinfoil hat in a post-Epstein leaks world. All the "crazies" turned out to be right, and when boiled down the "crazies" were just saying "yeah, judeo-commies getting into things always fucks them up because judeo-commie agendas are fucked up". The Gulf of Tonkin being bullshit? Oh wait that turned out to be right. No WMDs in Iraq? Oh wait that turned out to be right. AIPAC influencing the State through bribes? Oh wait that is blatantly happening right now... Over half of your Congress critters being pedophiles who are completely compromised? Oh wait that's obvious to anyone looking at them beyond the surface level tailored suits and pre-written teleprompter speeches.
It's typically judeo-communist outlets themselves who call people outing them nebulous "conspiracy theorists". Geeeeee, I wonder why they would do that? Next you'll tell me the World Economic Forum said openly and in front of cameras, "You Will Own Nothing". Oh wait.... they actually did that openly and in front of cameras.... See what I mean? If you get called "tinfoil hat" by a very suspiciously nepotistic and jewish monopoly - chances are they fear what you have to say and want you one-dimensionalized and demonized. Imagine that.
