Actually the question should be whether we need MUSIC volume controls. I can adjust the general game sound quite well with my surround system or headphones, but I cannot adjust the game vs. music sound levels, which is absolutely annoying: - game music is too loud, often drowning audio cues to enemy positions and movement - I generally dislike music when I am playing. For me it doesn't add to game immersion, it greatly takes away from it. On top of that, for me background music is a constant subliminal stimulus that distracts me, dulls my attention and just makes me play worse. Having music volume controls doesn't exclude anybody from having a gaming experience the way he likes it. Actually not having them does that. Having music volume controls would include those players who do not like music playing in the background. Heck, at the volume Destiny's game music plays, you actually cannot speak of background anymore.
