Let's game together
I don't game on PC a whole lot, apart from Tribes Ascend. I'm on there as Spaaacelizard in the incredible off-chance that anyone actually plays.
Otherwise, I play Overwatch on PS4 as Deltree1983. I usually play late nights EST, so, look me up there!

Giving this broken record player one last crank, but, Overwatch is free on PS4 this weekend! Come try it out!
What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?
I've only just finished the first case, but, the new Ace Attorney game miiiiight just be my favorite one since the Edgeworth games? Anyway, it's out now. Go play it.
Composers- how do you charge?
I definitely only paid upon delivery of satisfactory completion, and those terms should be in writing as part of your agreement. I never ran into any sort of friction, thankfully, but I did make suggestions along the way as each piece came together, and then I would pay upon reception. Constant communication at each stage is important (with artwork moreso) to avoid this sort of scenario - short samples/phrases, basic MIDI sequences, that sort of thing.
I wouldn't think you're obligated for pay for bad work you can't use, at any rate.

Suggestions for a Game where (choices have consequences)
Tactics Ogre (both the GBA one and the original or PSP remake) comes to mind immediately, since there are very large branching paths that change the entire track of the game - stages you play, who you fight, who you can recruit, and even your "title."
TellTale games threaten you with remembering choices, but that mostly amounts to immediate character responses and occasionally the absence of a character down the line. If that's more your speed, I definitely recommend both A Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands.

Kubo and the Two Stats

I'm assuming it means over 15 media pages across games? So if you have like 10 LP videos in a single media page, it probably counts as only 1?
Nah, 'cause most of my media submissions are soundtrack files for one game, and I still made the list. Maybe a group of related "Let's Play" videos for one game is considered only one submission, though?
Composers- how do you charge?
Speaking from the other side of the aisle - I commissioned a musician for $100 per minute of composed material, which is a number I picked as an industry average. At the same time, I wrote into the contract that I retain full rights to the final work, so I can do whatever I want with it (like offer a digital soundtrack add-on to recoup some of the cost, for instance). That way, I can also grant permission for the artist to use certain songs in his own portfolio, so nothing too spoiler-y is out in the open ahead of time.
Going off a percentage of the sales can get murky - is that before or after taxes and publisher fees, for instance? What about fractional Humble Bundle sales? I'd rather pay up-front and assume all the risk than experience complications down the road.
