The Music Industry (sigh)
As an update to yesterday’s post about why videogames are so important, I strongly advise you to check out this post on Techdirt.
Apparently, the CEO of Activision has pointed out how much games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band have helped sales of bands and that perhaps the record companies should be paying the game companies to have their music included, rather than the other way around.
What do you think?

Considering that Mötley Crüe’s last single “Saints of Los Angeles” has sold five times more copies for Rock Band as it did on iTunes he might be onto something.
