I would not care. I mean what, if up to people with this attitude, how will bands make money? do they think you can just release an album without an sort of promotion or hype and it will go plantinum overnight? come on now...
I know some may not want to admit it, but being a musician is a job. Serious musicians need money to make their art. It is not selling out to put your song in a video game.. that just spawns from self important punks who think anybody who sells more than 10 copies of an album has become mainstream sell outs. Kids who do not understand how the world really works ya know.
If up to the kids who think like that, every band would be playing in little clubs for 50 people making a couple hundred bucks a night. In the real world you need money to live, unless you plan to just be a weekend rocker and work an upscale job... you can not afford the lifestyle of just playing for a handful of people all the time for peanuts.. if you can make some extra money on the side putting a song in a video game i say go for it if it helps put food on the table.
