"Acceptable audio is merely expected, and so games with poor audio do not sell very well; games with excellent audio may or may not sell depending on other content."
In multimedia narratives [i.e. virtual worlds and digital games], sound can generate more fear than can vision. If the sound source is on screen, it is probably less threatening than if it is acousmatic. This is instinctive.
