Not when there's so many exceptions that your rule is riddled with holes. That means you need a new rule. I mean, you can go back straight to freakin' Dune 2 like two decades ago and find the first big exception to your rule. More and more of those 'exceptions' have accumulated since then. When the number of exceptions runs close to the number of straight uses, you gotta reformulate your position, because it's sunk. Videogame Music isn't *just* 'music made to fit a videogame' anymore, and hasn't been since forever. Videogame music shapes games, not always the other way around. Additionally, music can and has been used in videogames that is *associated* with videogames that wasn't made to 'fit the game', for example Full Throttle's soundtrack by The Gone Jackals. You're kind of arguing an untenable position, Vincent. Can you reformulate it a bit into something that is a little more coherent?
I wouldn't call music that's in a video game VGM music when it's not made for the game itself. Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd is in GTA San Andreas, but no one in their right minds calls it VGM. I wasn't talking about stuff like that, you're just grasping at straws
