To be fair it's no big deal, there are hundreds of videos of people playing that song.
Infact I can play it on guitar and piano. Do I deserve to be in game... no, absolutely not.
The difference here maybe (if you read the related article), is the elder scroll community have been helping her fund raise for her album.
So of course a lot of people are able to do the same, so why her?
- maybe the originality of the instrument ?
- maybe because of the community behind her ?
- maybe because someone at Kotaku found that awesome enough to write an article about it?
- maybe to actually just make an example of how strong our community could be?
We could find plenty reason for it, and you also could find plenty reasons for you (I guess).
Could you imagine the impact if let's say, in X months, the dev actually did it, and people write articles about it, saying how from a fund raise this artist, playing the Morrowing theme, was able to produce her album, and that with fans suggestions (I know I wasn't the only one thinking about it) the dev actually made it?
- Fans would be proud
- non-Fans would be impressed and maybe wanting to join this community
- Devs would
have a free marketing campaign be proud as well
- etc..
I have hard time to see what would be bad about it, I'm pretty sure anyone would find this awesome.
But again I didn't expect to see negative comments about it, so maybe I'm wrong..
