this is the video i was talking about. at abt 2:30 he points out how skyrim has a defining theme and therefore has expected music. minecraft has a defining theme- its blocks. just blocks. that was how it was. minecraft was “3d block game” before it was minecraft. that is its key defining trait. and the music literally sounds like watercolor pixel art.
