Materia Collective pledges to correct payment issue for Celeste B-sides composers

Changing their tune

Lena Raine crafted an amazing soundtrack for Celeste, and her tunes got some incredible remixes by a number of different composers for the game's collection of B-side levels. Unfortunately, those composers have gone two years without getting payment for their work.

Materia Collective is the team behind the collection of composers, and somehow they neglected to share royalties with those composers for the better part of two years. All in all, four composers on the project claim they haven't received their payments, and Materia Collective is finally speaking up.

Materia Collective says that outdated in-house software caused the issue, and the company promises to be better going forward. Composers who haven't received royalties will supposedly get all back pay by sometime in mid-February.
