If we don't own a song that has been chosen by other players, by majority vote, we are put into the grandstand with the rather rude message "You do not own this song".
Okay, I'll watch the others .. but with no sound? Really? Is it punishment for not buying that pack?
I think that a better idea would be to allow us to hear the song that they're slashing blocks to...it would be better for marketing. I get that it's copyright or something to that effect, but surely NONE of us has ever thought of stealing the song being played while watching others play Beat Saber. I don't know if that's possible, nor do I really care to find out.
My point is to PLEASE allow us to listen to the song being played when we're banished to the grandstand for not owning a song others have chosen to play. I'm sure that would tempt players to purchase the song or pack it's in if it's catchy and it looks like they were having a great time slashing the blocks.
Temptation to buy is surely better for marketing (and fun factor) than being banished to a silent grandstand...?
I have personally bought all but two of the packs however it's so disappointing not to be able to hear the song of the game in play because it's a pack/song I didn't buy. I'll bet most players just disconnect from the server rather than stay and watch in silence.
I love this game, just wish this could be an added feature/fix.
